Abstract

Human bodies need various types of nutrients each day to make the body function normally, and the ratio and amount of consumption of each nutrient are significant, especially for teenagers. Today, as the earth's resources continue to decline and environmental pollution continues to increase, people are not only considering the taste and nutrition of a food product, but also adding a new factor — environmental impact. Every single product people consume does some harm to the environment in the production, and the most common ones are the release of harmful gasses and the deterioration of soil erosion. As a result of such concerns, many people changed their eating habits. This paper intends to explore the relationship between nutrient content, cost and environmental consumption with the current knowledge about linear programing and diet problems. In the following content, this work is going to establish and analyze a diet problem with a hypothetical background, and use linear programming to calculate a combination of food products that has the minimal impacts on the environment but still fulfills the limitation of nutrients intake and budgets.
