  • Reflection Question
    Health More Fruits and Veggies
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How can we start shifting from a meat-focused food culture to a more plant-based one?

    historic part of culture -- ranching to part of our land grab from Native peoples. Start with one meal / week, or one meal/day (depending on how much we eat now). Make gradual change. Alternately, look at one meal/day to reduce meat -- so use 2 oz as a flavoring instead of serving more as a serving.
