  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
    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 from eating/serving smaller portions?

    Aside from the environmental benefits, other benefits that come from eating/serving smaller portions are health benefits such as preventing dips in energy, stabilizing blood sugar and smaller portions can prevent overeating.

    This year i'm trying to not purchase new items for myself or my children. For back to school shopping we went to a used clothing store and stocked up rather than purchasing brand new.
