    I have allergies so it was not the most enjoyable but walking outside got rid of a headache I had. I saw a lot of dogs so it was fun and I also realized that I gt tired easily from standing too long.

    In 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?

    We have a lot of fast food businesses opened up in this area and those companies involve creating products that contain meat in it. There are a lot of consumers of these products because many civilians prefer fast food over home cooked or natural foods. This shows that Americans value eating out and are too lazy to cook their own meals.

    A sustainable community to me looks like a community that can easily come together and take necessary actions when the time comes.
