Add to that, artificially reducing the cost of meat (corn production, farming subsidies etc) that drives up consumption and in the space of 20 or so years, manages to turn us into a nation of burger eaters with hardened arteries.<br /><br />A few days ago, I was reading reviews of the $3 Meals book that I have, and I saw complaints about the food portions. They were perfectly healthy food portions, but of course, we've become conditioned to overeat and then overeat some more.<br /><br />If the whole world ate as much meat as the USA, it would take 4 planet earths to sustain the world population (for the land to house the animals and to grow the food to feed the animals). Simple math to figure out how greedy we've become while other countries starve. And since stats show 1/8 Americans go hungry, that means the other 7/8 of us are eating far more than our fare shareDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269159777123145794noreply@blogger.com
