  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    High Impact Action Track Zero-Waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    I think it is a good exercise, as we unfortunatley often focus on the negative and loose sight of the good things. Sometimes practicing gratitude lets you see how fortunate you are and this in turn motivates to help others, less fortunate.

    Food Whole Foods Diet
    Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this idea?

    True. We are what we eat. I avoid processed food as much as possible, always cook my own stuff, purchasing, whenever possible regional / seasonal products.

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
