So,what can a 5 ,crowded world do? One suggestion is to eat 6 meat. Meat uses more natural resources (资源) than grains (谷物) It requires more 7 to produce one pounc of meat than to produce one pound of grain.

To eat less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be 10 . Ameri cans,for example,have 11 loved meat. Ir general,they eat twice as much meat as people in other countries. At the same time,in develo ping countries like China and Brazil,sales of mea have doubled in the last 20 years. 12 will double again by 2050. Growing need of meat will 13 to put pressure on natural resources.
World population is increasing,resources an becoming fewer,and food prices are rising Therefore,we need to rethink 14 we eat ev ery day. For meat lovers,we don't need to giv up meat 15 . But we need to eat more grain and less meat.
