  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Meat as a product is now available everywhere and doesn't cost too much. That causes the higher consumption = usage of the resources which could be used in different way (resources like water).
    To produce meat we need to use huge amount of water and food, which could be used to feed people. The space which is needed to produce (grow) the food for the animals which are then killed for a meat could be used to grow the food for the people. And animals could live more happy and more wild.
