For dinner I purchased a frozen pizza from Save-on-foods. I walked to the store so I did not consume any fuel myself on the trip.
The product was made in Germany which I thought to be very interesting. There is ham, which likely is European in origin and cheese which is likely also European. However, the pineapple likely came from a great distance. The top producing countries are Philippines, Thailand, and Costa Rica (1) So likely the pineapple traveled, likely via boat, across the world to Germany and then the pizza traveled again across the world to get to my table.
The packaging isn’t great. You can recycle the outer cardboard shell, however, there is also a cardboard pad, parchment and plastic wrap on the inside.
For a drink I had chilled tap water. No packaging and I used a reusable glass.
