Being a type 1 diabetic, I always have to be careful to think about my overall health. A lot of the activities I must engage in to maintain my personal health have a side benefit of being environmentally friendly, like walking and biking instead of driving places. Some other parts are more difficult and less environmentally friendly; meat is a very easy snack or meal option for me since there are no carbohydrates involved, and my life is all about carbohydrate counting, but the negative effect on the environment causes me some cognitive dissonance. However, there are lots of protein-rich food options that are not meat, so I am trying to incorporate those into my diet more along with increased fruits and veggies.
