Meat consumption

The worldwide meat consumption is rising year per year. In more developed countries, the information of the consequences of huge meat consumption is being taught to the people. Unsure which outcome this enlightenment is going to cause. People normally are not willing to give up their habits so easily. And even if the consumption declines in some countries, the difference is being made in big countries such as China.

The goal of this blog is not to proselytize people to become vegetarians or vegans but it should make people think about their way and their regularity of meat consumption. Progress starts in the change of everyone alone. So if an improvement is wanted to be reached, everyone should start change something even when it is just something small.

Suggestions for small improvement are the followings:

• Buy meat from a local butcher or if you buy it in a supermarket try to buy meat from your own country. No need to say that chicken from Brazil is causing more greenhouse gases than local one.

• Reduce the amount of meat consumption. Even if you pass on the meat only once per week you made a personal improvement.

• Inform yourself about what you eat and how this food is produced and processed. The more you know about such a topic the higher the chances you also want to actually change something in your personal life
