    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    In poorer countries it more common to stick to eating things that can be grown in copious amounts like wheat or rice.  This helps them gain more product for their dollar.  Meanwhile, in richer countries animals are bread in order to to be eaten.
