Eating less meat ‘like taking 8m cars off road’
A new Oxford University study pinpoints for the first time how high- and low-meat diets impact the planet.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Man you guys sure love to jump to absurd conclusions using apples to oranges comparisons... First the guy comparing eating beans to child abuse, now you... It's almost as if trying to force your lame lifestyle on billions of people requires leaps of logic only a protein deprived brain can achieve.
First off, you can't measure the efficiency of one person deciding vs multiple.
You can, however, determine how much co2 one person emits.
There's also no indication that politicians will ever consider banning meat and yet here you are trying to make people eat beans on toast every meal.
Look, all I'm saying, if you truly care about the planet, instead of trying to force lifestyle changes on 99% of the population, there's 1% of them that emits 15% of CO2 without really contributing anything useful to society.
There's a quick ROI. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Or you could eat beans I guess.
You are strawmanning and coping so hard I dont have enough time to address all of that, so ill just pick a few.
That has worked wonderfully over the past 30 years right?
veganism has been around since the '40s and the meat industry grows every year.
You dont see a difference between 'making an argument' and 'forcing (because thats the exact word you used) someone to change their way of life'?
Also, I am not mad at you for eating meat. It is your own decision. Im not even vegan myself. Please dont project your insecurities on me. I am mad at big corporations and billionaires for causing misery for a large group of people, but for that to change, I sincerely believe that the attitude in our society has to change from blindly consuming everything we are offered to living and consuming more consciously. I will not start shooting billionaires (thats obviously what youre suggesting and I hope it is just a phase driven by interner anonymity and frustration).
And related to 3., taking matters into your own hands is my whole point, youre arguing against it.
Also, please answer 2, because youre constantly complaining about me suggesting that change comes from.the consumers, but you are completely avoiding suggesting any alternative.
