REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

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?

I've been a vegetarian for nearly 2 years now. It was not always easy but I started by taking simple steps. For example, I started not eating meat for breakfast. As time progressed I started to further limit my weekly consumption of meat. Now I am following my same process to becoming more plant-based/vegan. I have once again begun my journey by eating at least one vegan meal a day (usually breakfast). It's important to optimistic about this diet and not think of what you can't eat but all the new foods you will make a point to try.
