REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodIn 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?
Sarah Lai 4/24/2019 9:16 AMI think it is a habit that people don't really think about...culturally meat has become so ingrained in every meal. But there are so many delicious alternatives and good plant-based protein sources, I think we just need to get the word out and people need to give it a try. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?
