  • 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?

    I my opinion, habit and privilege are the reasons for North American's eating more meat.  However, I see more and more meatless and vegan options at restaurants! Perhaps a sign that eating less meat might become trendy!
