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!
Food & Hunger >
The Amount of Wasted Food
In the US we waste so much food. Many third world countries do not have the same luxuries that we have. We need to save our food, or we could end up in the same positions, like third world countries. At some point resources will become low, and wasting food will be one of the primary reasons. If we do not conserve our food, and take advantage of it, we can end up starving and in trouble. Eat everything guys, but if not there are plenty of people who could use it.
