The 90-Day Plan: DAY 12

DAY 12

DON’T BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW

Most doctors agree that a diet low in calories is healthy for you, but did you know that a diet lower in calories is healthy for our planet?


Wasting food has environmental consequences--The typical American diet requires about 10 calories of fossil fuel to produce 1 calorie of food!

This includes production, distribution, and transportation. It all adds up!



Challenge: Write the country of origin, means of transportation, and method of preparation for all of the food you ate today?
