QUESTION 7

In his TED talk, Mark Bittman suggests that one important way we can improve our diet AND help the planet is to:

		Only purchase food from local farmers
		Reduce our meat consumption
		Only purchase organic produce and meat
		Become vegan

Answer 1

Overconsumption of animals, and of course, junk food, is the problem, along with our paltry consumption of plants. There is no good reason for eating as much meat as we do. Less meat, less junk, more plants. A simple formula is Eat food. Eat real food. We will reduce calories and our carbon footprint. For the benefit of everyone, the time has come to stop raising [animals] industrially, and stop eating them thoughtlessly.

Correct Option: B. Reduce our meat consumption.
