    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?

    A lot of people eat meat in n north america because they were born up eating it and that meat has a lot protein and nutrients in it. Some people in countries die because they don't have protein and nutrient so they just have meat.

    No I have not heard of the Silvopasture  before this but I did learn quite a lot. The biggest advantage in my opinion is that there is less trees too cut down.
