    10 simple things you can do to change our food system: Learn more about these issues and how you can take action on Takepart.com
    1
    Stop drinking sodas and other sweetened beverages.
    You can lose 25 lbs in a year by replacing one 20 oz soda a day with a no calorie beverage (preferably water).
    2
    Eat at home instead of eating out.
    Children consume almost twice (1.8 times) as many calories when eating food prepared outside the home.
    3
    Support the passage of laws requiring chain restaurants to post calorie information on menus and menu boards.
    Half of the leading chain restaurants provide no nutritional information to their customers.
    4
    Tell schools to stop selling sodas, junk food, and sports drinks.
    Over the last two decades, rates of obesity have tripled in children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years.
    5
    Meatless Mondays—Go without meat one day a week.
    An estimated 70% of all antibiotics used in the United States are given to farm animals.
  • also shop at your local farmer market! I saw the movie and i was totally shocked. I only eat free range chicken and feed my family grass fed beef and I only buy organic.

    Ya I was most definately in shock when I watched this! It really made me think about what I put into my body. Some people may say organic is too expensive but it is worth putting your money into on the long run....healthier lives!
