On this week’s Go Fork Yourself, @mollymogren and I do a deep dive into not only how the food system is struggling, but what we as individuals can do. Link to full video and post in my bio. A few things we talked about: 1. Use less. You already know this, and I know it can be hard to do. If we all tried a little harder, it would make a big impact. Swap single-use plastics for reusable containers, start bringing your own grocery bags (they work better anyway!), buy some reusable straws, mugs, water bottles. 2. Eat less meat, both in frequency and in portion size. Look, I love a nice steak, but it’s a treat. Try to incorporate meat-free meals into your week. When you do eat meat, buy the best you can afford, and eat about a 4-ounce portion. Think of meat as the side dish, and vegetables, legumes, whatever else you’re eating as the main. 3. Eat at restaurants that align with your value system. Scallops are incredibly expensive right now. Why? Because we’re catching less of them. Restaurants keeping them on the menu on are charging more, but the question really is why are they continuing to serve species under pressure? Spend your money at places paying attention to aquaculture and farming practices. How do you know who’s paying attention? Read the rest of our post.
