    Today I failed my small food portions because I’m a student-athlete and I need to have at least 5 meals a day in a good quantity of proportions. I also rather be full then to constantly having to go back for more food every hour.  I rather be full for a couple hours than keep on saying I’m hungry every 30 mins .

    What was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?

    I travel because I feel comfortable in car more than a plane and it might save me a couple bucks.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?
