Hi my name is Adam Evans and I eat a lot so my food consumption is higher than average. I think that is because I’m a pretty serious runner so I need the extra food.

food & hunger is a very serious topic because it saddens me that saddens me that some people cant even afford the main necessity of life; food.

I’m Candace Sibal, you can say I eat a lot because my food usage is 3800kg compared to your average Washingtonian which is 2704kg. But the difference between me and other people is that I’m not actually hungry, I just eat when I want to cause I’m bored and it tastes good. I feel like if I were president I would make there be an easier way to send my leftovers to Africa and places where people like to eat a lot of junk like I do.

You bring up a fantastic point! As humans we want food and it's necessary for us to eat. But it also increases our carbon footprint. YOU just bring up a fantastic point.

Hello my name is Melanie I am from Wisconsin. So I eat a lot of meat I was going to become vegetarian with my friend last year. I think that everyone can change their carbon foot print. You should help people everywhere.

Did you not end up becoming a vegetarian? I've been a vegetarian my whole life and when I was calculating my carbon footprint I was so surprised how much lower mine was than others under the food section just because I didn't eat meat -

I also was a vegetarian for one year, then i started eating a little of meat.
now i want to try to eat less again, because i saw this short film about how cruel animals are farmed.
i really agree that being a vegetarian will help your carbon footprint to become smaller.
but eating meat from a local known farmer or butcher will also be better for the ones who don´t want to stop.

Hello, my name is Kegan S. from the USA. When I took the test, it asked how many calories a day we intake. On average a girl eats 1600, and a boy eats 1800. So boys eat more, leading to a higher carbon footprint. So boys produce more carbon than girls, especially for the food category. Does the calories you intake really affect your carbon footprint. Does it mean girls are less carbon users? What do you think? Is more food lead to a higher carbon footprint?

Yes, Kegan is correct. Boys on average consume more calories per day than girls, about 15% more. This difference is present even in poor countries where total calorie consumption is, on average, far lower than in industrialized nations like the USA.
Morgan is also correct: the number of calories that you eat per day is not the only (or even the main) factor leading to differences between people in the footprint of food. A much more significant factor relates to your food choices: whether meat or vegetable, locally produced or shipped long distance, produced with a lot of fertilizers and energy or not, and so on. -

that´s true. boys may be eating more food, but a guy can have a smaller carbon footprint my eating (lots) of organic local food, than a girl, who eats less, but lots of meat and food that comes from far away.

I support the consumption of meat and fish because it not only provides many essential protein for the body, but the meat is accompanied by essential amino acids needed. The 20% is pure meat protein. These substances are essential for growth, defenses and tissue regeneration.
Fish is one of the healthiest foods and complete, consume twice a week brings huge health benefits thanks to its nutrient composition.
One hundred grams of fish provides on average 18 grams of high biological value protein, ie protein which is easily assimilated by our body as well as being easy to digest

OK, but many vegetables have high levels of proteins as well, including beans & nuts. And meat-heavy diets are associated with health problems. As author Michael Pollen recommends: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

Hi. I am Meghan M from the US. Hunger can cause serious mental and physical issues. In the first 1.44 min. of this video their are some important statistics about hunger. It tell who and how hunger affect people. After watching this video it sparked an idea that since people who go hungry often have these health issues their children and future generation will most likely be stuck in this recurring cycle because they cannot focus in school so they can’t go on to college not just because of money but also their grades aren’t at an acceptable level. This why people like us have to do something about it because we are lucky enough to not have to worry about where our next meal is going to come from. by donating food to food banks and handing leftovers or a snack pack taped on to a water bottle to people standing on the side of the road can make a huge difference not only in their health, but it can brighten their day to.
