Gabe, If you recorded your numbers correctly, then your food footprint is much higher than the average person from Wisconsin — which is 9065 pounds. I think that if you explore why this is, you'll see that it has much less to do with your weight and much more to do with your food choices. It's great that you eat little fast food, but do you eat a lot of meat and dairy relative to vegetables, nuts and whole grains? I know dairy is big in Wisconsin, but it has a very high footprint. You can use our footprint calculator to explore exactly how much of yopur food footprint comes from your food choices.

The events in the Middle East, specifically in relation to the nuclear-based tensions between Iran, Israel and the United States, have me wondering if the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will be followed by a third conflict. Then I read this article and it made me realize — perhaps the war is already underway. And there is no telling what an escalation might lead to.
