REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Meet My Local FarmersWhen you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat 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?
Opal Caldwell 10/23/2018 11:55 AMIn north america, alot can benefit from eating vegetarian/vegan for the simple reason that some meats are more prone to carrying diseases from the animal they were from,. they can also have not been cooked or cared for properly.
