Pope tells young people eating meat is part of a ‘self-destructive trend’

Pope Francis is asking young people to eat less meat in a bid to take better care of the environment.

In a letter to participants at the EU Youth Conference in Prague this week, the Pope urged that we “break this self-destructive trend” of consumerism and prioritise sustainability.

“It is urgent to reduce consumption not only of fossil fuels but also of many superfluous things; and also, in certain areas of the world, it is convenient to consume less meat, this can also help save the environment,” he wrote.
