Is your diet hurting the environment

[treehuggertodd]

Have you ever thought about how your diet plan affects the environment? Did you know that some diets are better than others for the environment? The fewer packaged product you eat and the more local foods you eat, the less trash you are dumping into landfills and you are causing fewer CO2 emissions from vehicles that need to transport goods to your stores. Think about that the next time you eat or you go grocery shopping or choose a meal-based diet plan.

You know...I never once thought about how my diet could be impacting the environment, but you have raised a good point. I guess a lot of diets really are bad, especially those that result in a lot of package waste.

Honestly, I'm far more concerned about what my diet is doing for me than what it's doing to the environment. I can't say the environment comes first when it comes to my weight loss goals. I try hard not to waste food, but beyond that...I don't lose sleep over it.

I think it's important to consider the impact on our environment, and honestly, hadn't thought about it from the perspective of packaging. Thanks for bringing it up!

I also hadn't thought about it from a packaging point of view either. I always forget about how my actions impact the environment

No problem:) Glad to help. I always think of the environment when I do anything. I typically find when I'm doing good things for it, I'm doing good things for myself
