    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    Maybe people in richer countries feel entitled to eat more meat and it doesnt really matter what it is, as long as it's unique. Depending on where you are, there is a domino effect where the more you eat, the less meat is available for animals to eat and they die which leaves something undone, to put it simply. It's more complicated than that.
