REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

I think that part of it involves socioeconomic status, as well as our tendency to be uneducated when it comes to eating habits, and rather glutinous in spirit as well. We have grown up hearing kinda, "the more the better". Plus there is a ridiculous red meat culture in our society created back in the 1950s. I think there needs to be more nutrition education, and I think healthy foods need to become more affordable as well.

So far everything's going well. I've already had my two meatless meals of the day! For breakfast I had some applesauce and a protein bar. Then for lunch I had a nice salad and some cantaloupe. No refined sugar so far today, and I'm tracking my purchases! I intend to tend to my garden when I get home tonight and I will begin looking into the fashion industry's affects on the environment. Here we go!
