All this money can be used for any charities , Any bills,etc. Instead of wasting large amount if money on food that will be thrown out, it's better to save money and just buy the amount of food that will be used to prepare meals.

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?

jesenia rodriguez 10/05/2018 11:30 AM

North america may eat more meat than any other places because most restaurants or supermarkets do not include vegan meals. There is a majority of restaurants with meat and not many vegan grocery stores or restaurants. Maybe making more vegan restaurants around neighborhoods may make people wanna eat in vegan places and possible change their eating habits into a healthier one.
