People nowadays are starting to change their eating habits for a better planet. Producing meat is getting harder and harder each year and people are starting to look for new, healthy, and beneficial substitutes for meat. Thankfully, there have been found some products that can replace proteins and nutrients from meat, for example, Tofu, Tempeh, and Seitan. Tofu is made of condensed milk that is compressed into little blocks, like cheese. Tofu has lots of proteins and it contains various essential acids that are necessary for the human being.

There are many ways we can help our planet avoid this food waste disaster such as eating insects, storing food better, and not cooking extra food Do we really want to eat insects in some years? In the way we are in some years we are going to eat insects for sure because of the food waste. If we keep like this our children will surely start to eat insects but maybe if the food waste increases more and more we are going from our age to eat insects. So what we have to do to save meat production and don't waste food? We have to do not throw food in the trash and cook food in accurate quantities. Now if we have something left we don't throw them away, but we can keep that in the fridge and we can eat this the next day. Also do not cook candies or cakes that no one will eat you can cook one in t...
