The 4th Opposite Diet Tip:
4. TAOO says “Save the environment and eat everything you order.” OPPOSITE DIET Advice: The idea is that if food is uneaten or left to spoil, it goes into the garbage and then into a landfill. So, the TAOO joke is eat everything you can to cut down on landfill waste. However, there is another important way to keep excess food out of the landfills and help the environment. That would be to only buy or order the amount of food you can eat and need to eat. All food production has a carbon footprint – gasoline for farm machinery, and water and fertilizer to grow the food; gasoline for the delivery of food to markets and restaurants; electricity or gas to prepare the food and water to wash the dishes, pots and pans. In other words, a lot of energy goes into producing what you are eating. How much better you would feel – psychologically and physically – if you ate just what your body requires and cut down on the energy waste and your waist!
MY RANT ‘N RAVE
(sometimes about food and sometimes not…)
Have you ever noticed how unhappy people like to share their unhappiness by trying to make everyone around them miserable with rudeness, thoughtlessness, anger and sometimes outright cruelty. It might come from the unhappy store clerk or neighbor or driver. I guess that is where the saying “misery loves company” comes from. My best advice to you and to me is to not let them affect us. Refuse their “gift of misery.” Don’t give them power over how you feel. While you are walking away or driving away, feel sorry for them and think a positive thought for yourself.
What is your opinion or your Rant ‘n Rave? Let me know.
