    The availability of cheap meat because of the industrial animal farming practices, which don't take the environmental impacts into the calculation. There is also a vast disconnect between consumers and the animals that we consume. I think if we are made more aware, even occasionally of where our meat cuts come from and how much is sold every day collectively, we may realize how taxing it is. Also, simply celebrating the beauty and deliciousness of vegetarian recipes would help.

Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of this?
