    Cutting on fast food can help with reducing food waste as fast food restaurants produce in bulk which leads to a lot of food being thrown away. Also the massive amounts which lead to uneaten food being thrown away. Instead, I meal prep for 3-4 days ahead

    Fun fact that I just learned: sea weed is a sustainable food source because it does not need land, freshwater, or harmful pesticides to grow

    Eating smaller portions has helped me feel overall more energetic throughout my day. Whenever I face hunger, I go for a portion of fruits in between my meals which usually fills me up a little before I get to eat my next big meal.
  • 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?

I also found out that people with tendencies to meal control are more likely to maintain healthier blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels
