Food choices

When I make food choices, I take the freshness, price and nutritional value as most important factors, because I do cook everyday rather than eating outside. First of all, I like to buy something its fresh to eat due to the fact that I do cook everyday I don’t actually buy something that would stay in the house long period. Also most of fruits and vegetables I buy are seasonal item where it taste better and did not come from the frozen storage. Second is the price, I’m college student and do not currently living with my parent. This means I do have to use my money properly and wisely. Third, I consider a lot on nutritional value when I buy the food, eating health food really keep my mentally and physically in good shape. I do have environmental considerations in my minds, as my parents always told me and showed me how it is important to keep up with small thing that will later help the environment. For example, only cook the amount that I can eat which will help me not to throw away the rest.

Of the food and beverages that I have consumed in the last day or so, I don’t think it really impact the environment impact. I drank only water, and I cook in home and ate with my roommates. To be more specific, I walked to the grocery so no transportation that would pollute the air, bought fresh fruits and vegetables which some may say in order to grow these items it need water, energy, chemical things to keep it as good standard product and how it was transported to market would be the factor that impact the environment, and walked back to home. And cooking food, I used the stove so this could be another view of impacting the environment. However, I think this is the basic need to live and basic use and impact on the environment.
