I chose to take the Score Your Diet quiz. I wasn't too nervous since I eat pretty healthy I think, but after taking it I realized some changes should be made! The food that I scored the highest in were fruits and veggies, which is a good thing. I scored the highest in these because I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables per week. The foods that I scored the lowest in were candy, chicken, beef, and pork, to name a few. It's a good thing I scored low in the sweets section since that stuff is never good for you. But I could eat more chicken since that's so high in protein. I think I scored the lowest in those foods since I really am not a big meat eater. The category that I need the most work in is the Environmental section. I could put more effort into eating locally grown meat, fruit, and vegetables. I think the main reason I don't do that is because I think its not as convenient, but I think if I put in the effort it would be worth it. I plan on trying to eat more locally grown items since it's a great way to help out people in the community, it's environmentally friendly, and it would help me be healthier too! Overall, taking this quiz made me think more about how my diet does affect other things besides myself. I can make more of an effort to eat differently in order to be to be more healthy, be more conscious of animal welfare, and to help the environment.
I had similar results.. with fruits and veggies being my best section. I agree with your idea to eat more locally grown foods.. I am in the process of trying to stick to Whole Foods Co Op, so we'll see how it goes! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletemy results were like yours with low meats. Meats cost so much, which is hard for poor college students. Yet at the same time, this is good because then you are helping with the environmental part with less manure etc., if you want to look at it in a positive light.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to find enough local food isn't it? But you seem to do pretty good. sounds good, keep it up.
