As Danny mentioned, today is World Food Day- one of the few international holidays that I know of that affects everyone worldwide. With nearly one billion people undernourished worldwide, juxtaposed against an increasingly overweight population in the US, World Food Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sources of your food, how your food choices affect the world food crisis and the implications of our agriculture policies on domestic and international issues (such as the opposite forces of malnutrition and obesity competing for our resources). According to the United Nations, this year’s holiday is an opportunity to recognize the relationship between global warming and food. As their site says, Food is Energy. The relationship between your food choices and global warming cannot be ignored food production, especially from livestock, is one of the largest contributor’s to greenhouse gases, the main global warming culprit. Learn what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint with eco-friendly food choices at Take A Bite Out of Climate Change.
