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?
Jasper Tao 4/27/2023 3:18 PMPeople in less developed countries often cannot afford to buy meat or farm it themselves, meaning they are more connected to the process of killing an animal for consumption. In the US, we have such easy access to packaged meat that there is a disconnect between meat and the animal. -
