Additionally, high protein consumption, red meat especially, can wreak havoc on your health and waistline as well as contribute to excessive carbon foot printing in terms meat industry costs, raising animals, transportation / fuel and emission costs, et cetera, et cetera!
Be mindful not only of how much meat you consume, but also, from where you purchase your foods whether meats, veggies, fruits! Buying local does so much more for you, the producer and the environment. Simple things make such a difference!
Finding simple ways to make meat a part of the meal, but not the main attraction, will keep your tastebuds, wallet, waistline and environment happy!
It's a win-win! Shop smart. Cook smart. Eat smart.
