When you trace back where your food came from, you’ll find many footprints.
By the time they get on your plate, some ingredients use a lot of water, emit greenhouse gases, afflict animals, and slaughter animals.
For the energy to support you for 24 hours, how much resources are you using and causing suffering?
To choose food with thought, let’s first follow your footprint.

On 2021/6/25, Animal Rights Center Japan released “Food Footprint Calculator” for knowing the impacts of what we eat.
By entering your food consumption into this calculator, you can find out:
- How many animals you eat each year
- How many hours of animal suffering you cause each day
- How much water you use each day
- How much greenhouse gas you emit each year
Also, you can find out how much animal suffering and how many animal lives you can spare by reducing eggs, chicken, pork, beef, farmed fish, and shrimp.
Please give it a try, and know the impacts of your diet!
