Well, for starters I really didn't eat that much food today. That's not really relevant nor is it sustainable, but I did not consume as much as I normally would have. I had a main meal in the Hoff and a main meal at home. I don't eat meat so there is a +1 already and the food in the Hoff really does try and be sustainable. It's hard to get all of the food locally produced when you're feeding 1000's of people a day. So I don't know exactly how "sustainable" my food consumption was but I feel better knowing that it is at least and issue being discussed on X's campus. The other meal was a pre-packaged Tia noodle kit and some sun chips. Not exactly the pinnacle of sustainable eating. The biggest problem with trying to have a sustainable diet is the expense. You ever been to Whole Foods? That stuff is off the charts expenses. Peanut butter should not cost that much. This in lies the problem. There is a push to be more sustainable yet actually being able to do so is a question of financial status.
