Should or should we not reduce meat consumption?

Yes, I believe we should reduce the global meat consumption. The huge amounts of CO² produced by the production of meat (farming, packing, transporting) could be significantly reduced if every person would consider one day per week as meat-free. However, not only this fact lead me to my belief. Early humans were not used to eating a great amount of meat, as it was fairly hard to get, compared to today. As an result the human body is still not comfortable with a large amount of meat per week, however on average, every human eats 50 grams per day. This is a lot and at times even too much for the body to handle which can cause severe health problems.
