Eye Opener: CSPI


For our second eye opener, I decided to take the "Score Your Diet" quiz.  My grand total was 62 which is in the excellent range.  The highest number I got was a 33 in the fruit row.  I love fruit, and now that apples are in season I have been eating 3 or 4 a day.  The lowest number on my score card was a negative 14 in the milk and yogurt row.  Organic Greek yogurt is one of my favorite foods and one of my main sources of protein.  I am a vegetarian so the yogurt and milk are important for me to get essential nutrients.  I also am at risk of osteoporosis, so I make sure to get enough calcium and vitamin D through these two sources.  I would like to improve on the environmental score.  By eating more organic foods, I will be able to get a lower score.  I was happy to score in the excellent range because I try my best to eat environmentally and animal friendly, while still taking care of my health.
