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 and climate
I feel that some people don't realize how big of an impact eating some types of food, especially food high in the food chain does to the environment, like meats. It causes a lot of Co2 emissions and even eating a vegetarian meal once a week would make a big impact if everyone did it, and it could be anything without meat if money is an issue.
