One evening, while trying to discern exactly what was in the bean casserole my traveling wife had kindly left in the fridge, I wondered: What is the biodiversity of my diet? How many plant and animal species do I consume regularly? And where did they come from? Later, I compiled a species list from one typical day for four meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner. Then, using food labels and knowledge of where I bought the food, I tracked down their origin and ecological niche. If variety is the spice of life, we Homo sapiens are the spiciest of species. I calculated that in 24 hours, I ate 53 species spanning four biological kingdoms and five continents. Here’s why our diet biodiversity matters: www.grist.org/article/food-the-omnivores-delight-one-day-four-meals-and-53-species/
