This does ring a few bells, one of which is the beauty of untouched nature found in the mountains or preserved parks.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Mitchel Hays 3/29/2021 5:39 PMFor myself, it seems to help settle my stomach and appetite. As for other people, I believe this may encourage themselves to eat a more balanced diet. For the planet, it helps use a better balance of foods instead of a larger portion of one group.-
