I listened to a program by Mark Bittman about how eating healthier, can save the planet.  When you eat a steak you must consider the path of the cow before it reaches your plate.  A farmer has to raise the cow, feed the cow, maintain the cow, ship the cow, the cow has to then be produced into your patty and then sent to be cooked and eaten by you.  On the contrary and healthier side, corn comes from the earth and takes the simple process of growing naturally grown organics and then cooking them to your specification. I learned that my carbon footprint even traces back to the dinner table.  Other people should read this article, or listen rather, because it shows one more way we can make a difference in helping our country evolve, healthier.
