    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    Alejandra Garcia's avatar
    Alejandra Garcia 10/19/2021 3:42 PM
    People in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places because they have enough money to pay for the high cost of meat products when people in poorer countries make their own crops. Eating more meat affects our planet because it takes up a lot of water.
