When making my decision on what food to buy I take three factors into account. When grocery shopping, the first priority is to buy cheap products because my roommates and I are the stereotypical poor college students. The next factor to be taken into account is how much protein is in the food. This is because we like to workout and are working on becoming more muscular. The final factor is in regards to when I go out to a restaurant. My decision is based on a combination of what I am craving/what I think will taste the best and whether or not this meal is reasonably priced. Unfortunately, when choosing my food sources I do not take the environment into account. The closest thing I do to taking this into account is that I try to avoid drinks that are made with high fructose corn syrup.

Of the foods that I have consumed over the last couple of days, probably the most environmentally unfriendly was a BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich from Hooters. I assume this because I think pork is one of the least efficient meats one can eat and I highly doubt the quality of the meat that a fine establishment such as Hooters uses. But to be quite honest, I think the food/beverage that I have consumed the most in the last couple of days has been beer and I am a bit curious about the environmental impact of producing it.
