  • 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?

    The culture looks down upon people who are vegan/vegetarian. This highlights the carelessness of American culture - people eat a lot of meat without recognizing their environmental impact. By incorporating vegetarian and vegan friendly meals into everyone's diets, they may recognize that they feel better and feel healthier.
