    I think it's going pretty good, for a meatless meal I decided to eat some potato tacos. With salsa, lettuce and a crunchy shell it is very delicious.

    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal Products
    Why 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?

    I think people in richer countries eat more because of the higher prices for meat. Eating more meat can cause health problems like carcinogens being present in red meat.

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller Portions
    While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?

    People can have a sense of control. One will choose if they will want more food after they finish the first portion.
