Eye Opener: CSPI
This Eye-Opener was pretty cool, it is nice to take a look at how what I choose to eat everyday does in terms of Animal Welfare and Environmentally speaking. Here were my results :)
Health Score: 87
Environmental Score: -10 (Eek!)
Animal Welfare Score: -1 (ok not SO bad)
Grand Total: 76~Excellent
So, over all, Id have to say I am pretty happy that I got an Excellent over all score. This doesn't surprise me, I tend to be very concious of what I eat and am not too big on eating meats. I mainly consume organic food as well, so I feel this score is a good depiction of my life style.
I scored highest in the sections of 'Fruits,' 'Vegetables,' and 'Whole Grains.'
The sections I scored lowest in, and had negative numbers, were 'Cheese' and 'Candy'...I love chocolate!! How can someone live a life without the beautiful delight is BEYOND me :)
The are I would need most improvement in is the area of 'Environmental Score.' I can understand that due to fruits and veggies being grown outside and taking a tool on our environment in that sense. To improve this, I think it would be most beneficial to have my own little garden and area to grow my own crops..this has always been a dream of mine actually!! So hopefully when I get a place of my own, when I become a "grown up" I will have a little area I can do this.
~Overall, I think this is was a cool activity. It is nice to see how I am affecting things around me, and makes me think about how I can help.
Have a nice day :)

Great job on your scores. It is really cool that you don't eat much meat, and that you eat mostly organic foods. Good for you! I would love to eat more organic foods, but I feel like they are too expensive for me, as a poor college student. I also scored high in the environmental section. I feel that it has a lot to do with a lot of fresh fruits and veggies being shipped here. I think it is really awesome that you want to grow your own fruits and vegetables. That will really make a change. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteGood scores!! It makes me feel so bad about my diet. I guess I have to be more considerate about what I eat. I scored pretty badly at all the areas. I also need the most improvement at the environmental category. Great job on eating organic food. I wsih I could eat them, I just don't like the way they taste. Keep up with the healthy food habits!
ReplyDeleteWow you do have some pretty good scores Samantha. I wish I could eat less meat...well I mean I can but my childhood I grew up on a farm so meat was always in our course. I should try eating more organic stuff like you. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteGood Job Sam! This makes me feel so bad about my diet. Being considerate when you are hungry is hard to do! You have great scores! Keep up the healthy eating;)
