REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Everett Delp 4/04/2022 6:02 PMThis does mot surprise me, because throwing away large amounts of food is normal in many households. I would use the extra money in a savings account for the future. -

Everett Delp 4/04/2022 6:01 PMAnimals cost a lot of money to properly raise, so richer countries have diets higher in meat. Eating more meat contributes more to your carbon footprint, because the air that animals breathe out adds extra to the CO2 in the atmosphere. -

First off, its a sustainable source of energy, so there is less CO2 produced. But, it takes up a lot of space, destroying sone animal’s habitats, such as birds or bugs that may live in forests. -
