People in richer countries tend to eat more meat because of the price and accessibility to purchase clean meat. The federal government subsidies meat processing companies to allow for cheap meat and easy access to it. People are able to afford the price of meat so they consume it because they believe it is good. Generations have been trained to consume meat and meat only thanks to officials and companies marketing and saturating the market with meat. They tell you it is the only thing to eat and people caught on. Eating meat affects our planet because of land use changes, water consumption and toxicity, and methane emissions. The consumption of red meat increases your risk for heart disease and failure and other deadly diseases. If the world were vegan a lot of virus' we have would be nonexistent as most virus' come from the consumption of animals.
