Questions to ask ourselves as we are putting things into our cart at the store

Have you ever looked at the list of ingredients?  What are they and are they healthy for our bodies? 
Where did this product come from and how far did it have to go to get here? 
What kind of packaging does it come in and is it biodegradable or recyclable? 
Dig a little deeper and question how was this food grown? Was it done in a sustainable way? 
Did it pollute the groundwater, deplete the soils, cause harm to the humans in contact with it or near it?
Ask yourself how are the workers treated who plant the crops, harvest it, and process the product that finally ends up on the shelf. Are they given fare wages? Are they putting themselves at risk handling it? 
How much energy is used to produce it? 
How much do we spend on it and if it’s cheap, where are all the hidden costs? 
Who’s paying for it, the earth, the animals, and/or all the other people behind the curtain?
