REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use More Fruits And Veggies

How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?

At lunch yesterday, my friend and I began talking about meat-free meals. We came to the conclusion that if everyone ate meat-free meals just 1 day per week, we could collectively make a big impact on the meat industry and reduce our carbon footprint.

I think eating more fruits and vegetables, and conversely, eating less meat, is one of those baby steps that everyone can take.
