  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    I will guess that people in richer countries have more access to resources that allow them to process, sell and purchase meat at a higher rate than a country that is not as rich.  Eating more meat affects our planet in a negative way, being that it causes more waist, more pollution, illnesses, and diseases.
