REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Andrea Battle 4/06/2022 6:22 AMPeople in richer countries eat more meat than people in poorer countries because there are more sources available that provide a variety of meat products. Eating more meat than needed can deplete our planet's sources and impact the world as we know it.
