While I already knew that I eat a lot of food‚ what I did not realize was how much of the food I eat is packaged. In the tables 1 and 2‚ I put everything that was a local food into a bold font. It was only one item for each week‚ four brats the first week and three the second. They are from a local meet market‚ but even they are not very sustainable. Meat is very resource intensive to produce. Many more pounds of grain are fed to the animals to fatten them up than we get in return as meat. According

In 2008‚ 9.3 millions cows were used to produce milk and more than 2.5 million dairy cows were slaughtered for meat in the United States. Cows are used for clothing‚ which is leather.

According to the Worldwatch Institute‚ 74 percent of the world’s poultry meat‚ and 68 percent of eggs are produced in ways that are described as ’intensive’.One alternative to intensive poultry farming is free-range farming‚ however‚ this method of husbandry also uses large flock sizes in high stocking densities.

To say I am biocentric would be wrong. To say I am anthropocentric would be wrong too. Lastly‚ to say I am completely ecocentric would also be wrong.
