REFLECTION QUESTIONFood 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?
Chloe Bowman 4/23/2020 9:38 AMLarge scale production of meat is not environmentally friendly. Animals produce lots of methane which is damaging to the ozone layer. The grains used to feed these animals are much more environmentally friendly, however. If we consumed these grains instead of using vast amounts of them to feed livestock, the world and the people on it would be healthier. A diet heavy in vegetables and grains instead of meat has been linked to fewer medical complications and a longer lifespan.
