REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of this?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodNow that you know the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates, how will you view expiration dates differently?
William Griffith 4/19/2018 6:49 PMYes, because I know more about expiration dates I will look at them differently. I always see them as numbers on a tub of sour cream or yogurt, but now I know that it is something much more. I also will know the difference between best by and use by dates. I will begin to look at the dates as a warning because if I use them after I may become sick. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand UseHow difficult or easy was it to change your diet?
William Griffith 4/19/2018 6:23 PMMy diet was impacting the environment because I was not watching how much I was eating. I also did not recycle any of the plastic wrappers from fruit bars.It was not that hard because I already eat greens during every meal. I enjoy eating meat but it was interesting to try something new. -
