    I go walking with my mom and I like spending time with my mom. There's lots of people out walking when the weather is nice.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. 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 out of eating smaller portions?

    It can help avoid throwing food out that doesn't get eaten.
