REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat 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?
Deirdre Healy 4/08/2018 5:45 PMOur culture has grown accustomed to have meat at every meal. We can start shifting by consider the vegetable the main attraction of the meal. For example, tonight I had cauliflower steak for dinner! -
