New Zealand has some of the best meat in the world in terms of animal welfare and sustainability. In Spain its much different you do see as many 'free range' animals - and they eat alot of meat! This meat must come from somewhere.. make you wonder where?
I really like having meat in my diet but it has made me re think my options here in Spain - once I have better Spanish I will be going to the butcher and ensuring my meat is from places that have good animal welfare standards.
I think alot of the world now just overconsumes meat which has lead to the problem of not having enough supply and thus haveing to farm animal in pens
I can't say that I think people over consume meat, as I know, for good health, I need a reasonably high level of animal protein every day. Maybe a lot of people do, though a lot of others don't. What I do believe is there could be ways for everybody to get the foods they need most if we all work together towards it. Maybe that's too idealistic, but starting with a goal of us not fighting amongst ourselves is one small part of that. Another part of that is doing what you intend to do, and buy the best food you can find and afford. I'm lucky that part is fairly easy for me.
