What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

The meat industry
During my class we watched a movie titled “Cowspiracy” and it told us a lot of information on the beef industry. Our class learned that 51% of co2 that is released is due to animal agriculture and it’s mainly beef. As well, the movie said that if the entire world would become vegetarian we could have serious effects on reversing climate change, so if you ever have the option to eat something other than beef I would highly suggest it because it’s the little things that can start a movement and make the world a better place!
