  • 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?

    People in North America may eat more meat as they see it as the "American" way of life. Standard American foods that we would say are typical in popular cuisine here are usually centered around meat; ie: Hamburgers, Steaks, Hot dogs, etc. Fast food restaurants generally offer little to no vegetarian main course options.

    I could make more of an effort to buy only bulk, package free items from the grocery store -- to reduce packaging waste.
