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!

Our Diets and its Carbon Foot Print
I think a majority of us like eating meat it tastes good right? Well the meat industry greatly plays part in climate change this is mostly due to overpopulation which is a totally different topic all together. If all of us dropped eating unhealthy or at-least limited our consumption of fast food that would greatly impact climate change in a good way. What about limiting the amount of beef people consume that would drastically change the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in this atmosphere. What about dropping both foods? that would decrease your foot print dramatically!
