[GreenYes] RE: [ZWIA] FW: Wow - What is eaten in one week


Thanks for circulating this, Gary!

 

Especially if you connect the upstream wastes (including wastes to the atmosphere and waterways – what we typically call pollution) to these eating habits you’ll get an astounding differential in environmental impacts of those eating habits.  I’m currently using our Consumer Environmental Index (CEI) to do these calculations on food groups (meat, dairy, grains, vegetables and fruits) for the average consumer in Washington state.  This will show the differentials for the food groups per dollar spent on the various food groups, as well as for the average spending per person.

Check out these photos.   They say a lot about about global eating habits and waste.

See email below.   We might be able to integrate this into our conference food education materials.
 
This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting e-mails I've ever received.  Take a good look at the diet of each country.  How much do you eat ?
