Breakfast of Champions AKA me.

     Today, and pretty much every day, I eat 2 eggs. The eggs can come from various grocery stores. Today were Target Good and Gather Grade A Large eggs. In these eggs, I also put a slice of Velveeta cheese. A toasted bagle serves as a counterpart to the eggs. The bagel is produced by David's Deli (pictured below). The bagel is slathered in spreadable butter and Strawberry cream cheese. Yes, both. I usually eat some Greek yogurt following this. It serves as dessert to the bagle and eggs. It's basically my morning ice cream. The yogurt is typically one produced by Chobani, or whichever is in the fridge. Throughout this meal, I sip on black unsweetened coffee with pumpkin spice creamer. Coffee is produced by Good and Gather while the creamer is Coffee Mate. This meal is the absolute highlight of my day.

The Evniromental Impact of Breakfast of Champions.

         In my last blog post, I discussed daily breakfast, which I call a Breakfast of Champions. I now want to talk about two of the ingredients from that meal. The Good and Gather (GG) Grade A eggs and the Chobani yogurt. The GG eggs are made in the US. The Target (parent company) website says the eggs come from a certified United Egg Producer facility. It appears that exactly where they are made is unknown. For the Chobani yogurt, Chobani produces its yogurt in New York, Idaho, and Australia. Although we don't know much about where Target gets its GG eggs, we can find out more information from the United Egg Producer website. The group claims to put less of a strain on the environment by using less water in the production of eggs. This is great considering that the production of eggs was formerly something that would contain water. A similar takeaway from Chobani Greek yogurt. While Greek yogurt in general has bad environmental impacts (water usage, acid was...

Reflecting on the environmental geography of my meal

    If I were being honest, my "breakfast of a champion" isn't the most environmentally friendly. I believe some of this can be fixed. For one, better farming practices can be mandated. Let’s promote sustainable farming practices for dairy and eggs. This includes nurturing soil health, minimizing chemical use, and enhancing biodiversity. We should also ensure better animal welfare standards and more efficient resource management (water, feed, and energy). With this being directed towards both eggs and dairy, both elements of my breakfast are better for the environment. In my last blog post, I mentioned the amount of waste that came with the Chobani yogurt. To aid this, governments can promote the use of eco-friendly materials like biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable ones for product packaging. Governments should encourage companies like Chobani to take a bold step towards zero-waste manufacturing. The solutions listed come with constraints. The biggest being the cost. ...
