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?
Helen Hierschbiel 4/09/2018 9:32 AMWe eat so much meat because it's relatively cheap. If we want to change, the cost of meat should reflect the actual cost to produce it, including environmental costs.
