Assignment Paper

You are what you Eat?
For this assignment-

You will keep a food journal for 3 days. Write down EVERY little thing that goes to your mouth. Along with a food mileage diary.

You will write down for everything you consume:

1. All the ingredients that it contains (whole foods and not the additives as these are harder to track down)

A. For example: If you have chips and salsa these would be the ingredients: jalapenos, ancho chile, cilantro,

tomatoes, onions, salt, corn (tortillas)

2. After you are done with the 3 days, on the third day, you will document how long each food stuff traveled to get to you – just for one day.

A. For example, if for breakfast you ate cereal and had coffee (cereal: wheat, sugar) If the cereal box does not

document where the wheat comes from (which it rarely does), do a quick google search to see where wheat for

American cereals are usually sourced: it might be the midwest, it might be somewhere in Europe. Most sugar

is either corn syrup or beet sugar. Again, do a quick google search. If you are eating whole foods like an apple, most

if not all produce has a sticker that tells you its origination.

Coffee: Columbia (3,469 miles)

This is an approximation, not an accurate scale because for processed (and even non processed food)- it heads to another destination to get processed or packaged before it goes into a warehouse and shipped to local grocery stores before you even touch it. The point is to see how much your food travels before you consume it.
