    Quite an interesting journey, thanks for the opportunity!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    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?

    Adding meat to a meal is how I was taught to eat growing up.  Most restaurants & cafeteria's don't offer good meatless choices either, though this is getting better!  My last comment is that the Cooking Channel / Food Network, etc., should provide more meatless meals, demonstrate easy preparations and how to create complete proteins.
