REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
Daria Cooper 4/02/2021 8:13 AMPeople in reacher countries have an easier access to buy animal products including meat. This countries tend to have larger meat and dairy farm production facilities the byproduct of which has a tremendous impact on our planet in terms of air, water and land polution. People who live close by and work at these facilities are often the most affected by this polution and tend to develop related sickness at the faster rate than other people. Interestingly, these areas are also far from the sources of vegetables and fruits so these people would further harm their health by consuming animal products and not getting enough vitamins and minerals found in plant-based sources.
