    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?

    For me, this was the trickiest reflection question. Today, I decided to give it a try. In 2022, the United States, (which is a wealthy country) produced the most beef in the world (according to a quick google search). So perhaps richer countries are able to produce more meat, meaning they consume more.
    I do have meat in my diet, but also have nothing against removing it or some of it from your diet. The problem is mass production of animals, where a lot of the meat being produced isn't eaten, which is wasteful and hurtful to the environment, because of all the fossil fuels burned.

    I enjoy seeing different people doing things, such as yard work, playing with a sibling or friend, or sitting in a peaceful spot. A lot of times when I walk out of my neighborhood I see trash and wish people didn't litter.

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

    Every night I eat dinner with my family with no distractions, and I'm really glad. We learn about each other's day, and all sorts of subjects come and we learn things about each other we didn't know. Dinner is a lot of times the highlight of the day not because of the food but because I get to see and talk with my family, and if we ate with phones out it wouldn't be the same.

      It says at the top of the dashboard that it ends on December 31, 2025. Are you talking about another challenge? Just because everything still works for me.

    Not that much. Maybe I eat slower with distractions, but generally it's the same.

    Growing food and being able to access something you cultivated without having to drive to a store is amazing. Also I enjoy spending time reading in the woods surrounded by nature, bonus points for next to water.
