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.

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?
Marta Honysz 4/18/2020 7:17 AMMeat 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.
