REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal Products

Why 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?

Karly Mai 4/28/2023 3:37 PM

I feel as though people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places because they can afford to and is seen as somewhat of a luxury (filet mignon, oysters, etc.). People have also been disillusioned to think that eating meat is the best way to get protein. Eating more meat affects our bodies poorly by raising our risk of heart disease. It is bad for the planet because meat production requires an immense amount of water and land use.
