My diet consists of a mixture of homemade or fast foods. On a typical school day, for breakfast, I drink a cup of coffee at Starbucks which accompanied by a delicious bread produced by Franz and some California strawberries.

Now, I am curious to analyze where the food in my diet is sourced from and what might be the implications such diet.…
