REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsIn your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?
Karen Cohen 4/22/2019 7:37 AMI don't think North Americans think that much about the environmental impact of eating meat. Until I saw the documentary Cowspiracy I was not that aware of the effects on global warming because of the vast quantity of cows needed to feed a population that eats meat more than once a day. I am not a vegetarian but I have limited my red meat consumption for health and environmental reasons.
