  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than other countries, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    We have a culture in which eating meat is a norm and it is forced on us. A lack of other healthy options and having meat forced on consumers by fast food companies also causes a massive amount of meat intake
