In order to lessen their carbon footprint, the family stopped buying produce that was shipped long distances. They stopped buying food that had to be hauled in refrigerated trucks. They cited the extremely high cost of producing and transporting processed corn syrup and eliminated all foods that used it, including sodas. The cost of fuel for shipping and handling was a major factor in their buying decisions.
