This attitude is making our bodies miss so much of the good that quality ingredients can do to our health!<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">Some people believe it is a bit snobbish to think about what we are eating but let\u2019s face it, we just don\u2019t want to bother to think about the source of our food since some profit-minded people or corporations are doing the job for us.<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">Author Joanne Will, a Food expert Journalist stated in her article &#8220;The challenge of eating sustainably&#8221;: \u2026 &#8220;Many grocery stores are not set up to help us make smart choices and choices that are good for our health are often those that have the least impact on the planet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">Grocery stores can bombard and confuse us by highlighting products from which they make the most profit (ones that are cheap, mass-produced and filled with preservatives to extend their shelf life).<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">From the moment we step through the door, we\u2019re bombarded by pitches for foods that are unhealthy and placed front and center to attract our attention. We\u2019ve placed our trust in these stores to feed us, and in the process we\u2019ve lost sense of where our food comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>It&#8217;s all about emissions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"normalText\">As the <span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><b id=\"blue\">Food and Agriculture Organization<\/b><\/span> of the United Nations (FAO) points out, emission intensities vary from commodity to commodity. They are the highest for beef, followed by meat and milk from small ruminants. Cow&#8217;s milk, chicken products and pork have lower average emission intensity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">FAO reports that livestock now use 30 percent of the earth\u2019s entire land surface, mostly permanent pasture but also including 33 percent of the global arable land used to produce food for livestock. Breeding and grazing livestock occupy today most of the available land worldwide while only 5 per cent is used to grow crops that are directly consumed by humans. However, that 5 percent provides 80 per cent of the calories that humans consume.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<h6>&#8220;Fast foods, produced en masse for the masses, are high in crave-ability but also addictive with high fat and sugar content, and produced using unsustainable practices that make them cheap, readily available and visually attractive\u201d Joanne Will explains<\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1231\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a class=\"der\" href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-modal-image wp-image-1231\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1-299x480.jpg 299w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1904_03-1-1-374x601.jpg 374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maria M.

How? Taking small steps to get to change our habits: trying to make a fast, drastic transformation would just end up in failure.<\/p>\n<p>We can commit to vegetable-based soups and a stew once a week; then we can try a week without meat or, if you are good enough, you can try not eat red meat for a month while discovering what substitutes can be found in your town.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Being creative and searching for new options<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be creative in your cooking and think that you are feeding yourself on the best from the Earth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">Another idea that could help you carry out the change can be to discover the farmers closest to you.<\/p>\n<p id=\"normalText\">Try eating only <span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><b id=\"blue\">local foods<\/b><\/span> (\u201c0 miles products\u201d), or at least be sure that half of your groceries are from local production.
