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 do not disagree, but considering the meat-eating cultures, telling them to stop, has not exactly proved to be a winning move. The more working way seems to be, to get them reduce their meat consumption first. Then slowly convince them to take steps further... and even if that takes a long time, less meat is still eaten, so it is towards a better direction. Of course it would be better, if everyone would just stop eating meat right now. But that is still an idealistic take, sadly, especially with the meat industry having the lobbying money right now.

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.
