Food Choices Homework





Every Plate Tells a Story: Sharing and Reflecting Upon Our Food Choices

**********************************************************************************
Directions: After learning more about culture and food, we’ll be sharing and reflecting upon our food choices. First, take photographs of your meals (one meal per day) for 3 days and make a presentation using Google Slides: https://www.google.com/slides/about/
For the presentation investigate the following:
·         The amount of embedded water in your meals: http://waterfootprint.org/media/downloads/PDFHowtoCalculatetheWaterFootprintofanyFood.pdf
·         Food miles of your meals: https://www.foodmiles.com/
Additionally, you need to also write a reflection (1-2 longer paragraphs) about what influences your food choices (e.g., why you prefer certain foods; what is available in your community by season, and so forth), what you learned from your research, and whether there are any changes you may consider to lessen your ecological footprint. Enjoy!

Email me the link to your presentation and your reflection at aljaz.kovac@stockholm.se 7 days from this lesson! 

Here is an example of one student's food diary: follow this link to see his presentation.
