For my final post for this class, I will discuss the environmental impacts of my meal. I don’t think that my meal was necessarily a problem
to the environment. Sushi is a sort of specialty food; it isn’t eaten daily by
most people, like cereal or bread could be. Even considering the pesticides
used to grow the vegetables, this artificial aid is so common now that people
don’t even give a second thought to whether they are contributing to the environmental
problems or not.
If I were to make the meal more environmentally friendly,
I would have fished in smaller quantities, shipped the food in recyclable
containers, or even used a different fish as opposed to one who had to fly from
Japan to my plate. I definitely would have used organic food as well.
Possible limitations of promoting my meal as a
solution to the environmental problems is that most of my peers are college
students like myself and we cannot afford to go out to a nice seafood place all
the time. For college students, Qdoba is about as fancy as it gets. Still, we can help to cut down on the waste in many ways.
Although sushi wasn't the best choice for environmentally friendly meals, it certainly wasn't a bad choice.
