What’s for Dinner? • Form grade-alike groups (n ~ 4) • Plan a day’s worth of meals that use the food items I brought. (Feel free to list additional items you’d like to use as well). • Investigate the location of origin of the food items on your menu. • Estimate how far the food on your menu must travel to your plate. (you might use a globe, an online mapping tool, etc.)
