REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
Anthony Alex 2/01/2024 12:28 AMThis one was quite odd for me, to be completely honest. I consume quite a large amount of meat in my diet. Today, after reading and reflecting on the process of how as humans, we constantly kill creatures for food so that we may survive. We just are unattached to the process since we get our meat from a grocery store. Today I tried my first vegan dish; it wasn't my favorite but I had lower hopes for it, than in reality. I will consider eating more vegan dishes to minimize my impact
