God, if only those people who want to save the planet shut the fuck up about it! How about you save the planet without annoying me??
I reduced my meat consumption because alternatives became less work, got cheaper and tasted good. Then completely stopping was easy.
Whilst I understand your argument, if a strategy isn't working, pursuing it becomes more of a personal identity thing than a commitment to an objective.
they may want to save the planet, but being vegan doesn't do that.
I'm convinced saving the plant will require eating local food, no industrial inputs, no fossil fuel consumption. Moving everyone to a diet that requires exotic foods that must be shipped around the globe, massive industrial inputs, and has built in nutrient deficiencies - seems counter productive.
"The planet" doesn't need "saving" and has less than zero fucks to give about anyone or anything. Stop with the prepackaged white knighting, FFS. You're not doing anyone a favor, least of all yourself.
