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?
Allison McPhail 10/22/2018 3:58 PMNorth Americans really do love meat. Our version of Chinese food is mostly meat dishes. Most of our fast food joints are burger places. And big breakfasts at restaurants often come with bacon AND sausage. I don't really know why this is, but not many people challenge it. I'm not convinced that a 100% Vegan diet is necessary for individuals to combat climate change, but I do agree that it needs to be cut significantly. I think a single serving a few days a week is sufficient. -
