However, a few issues may be missing, such as<span style="color:#500050">: animal nutrition, animal health and welfare, sustainable processing of animal products; consumption of healthy meat and milk products vs feedlot-based products vs plant-based products; importance of meat and milk for human nutrition; reducing food loss and waste; etc., </span><span style="color:black;background:#EEEEEE">Do you think it is better to consolidate these issues into a separate SCP theme, or to distribute them across the months? A separate SCP theme would mean greater visibility for these issues, but one of the other themes would have to be replaced.
