Food Intake: For 24 hours, list each item of food and drink and how much of it that you consume, including water. Indicate whether it is purchased, pre-made (eg, from the cafeteria, McDonalds, Subway, etc.) or whether you “put it together” yourself. USING THE INTERNET OR OTHER SOURCE, ESTIMATE YOUR TOTAL CALORIC INTAKE FOR THE DAY. Indicate which source you used. Reflect on this amount. Where does your food come from? How much energy and water was used to produce your food? Are your food choices sustainable?

1. Mcdonalds. Small fry, snack wrap, drink.
total calories: 700
2. Twix candy bar
total calories: 300
3. Coke
total calories: 110

Total Calorie Intake : 1110

All the food I consumed today came from an outside source. Most of it was manufactured within a factory, and I imagine used a great deal of energy and water to produce each of these products. My food choices certainly are not sustainable. If I were to eat sustainable food, I would probably goto a local farmers market and buy some fresh vegtables to make a salad with, and some fruit to go on the side.
