REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller PortionsWhile 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 from eating/serving smaller portions?

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?
Jacky Gomez 3/11/2021 7:17 PMPeople in wealthier countries eat more meat because they can afford to. Unfortunately eating meat makes us and our planet less healthy. Eating a lot of meat correlates to diseases like obesity and heart disease. It also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.
