MATHE-MAGIC Part 1
The man in Bus no.385 sat in a window-seat holding piece of paper in both his hands. All his attention seemed to be focused on that piece of paper.

 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat.
