So many downvotes without any comment, seems smart.
- I haven't voted on this post, but the data is not really presented in a beautiful or especially interesting way.
- I didn’t downvote, but I’m so goddamn tired of them pushing responsibility onto us for something we had maybe 1% responsibility in creating. Stop suggesting a solution that accounts for .0000001% of a solution to a problem it’s becoming increasingly obvious none of the true culprits are even pretending to be interested in solving anymore. Especially when those lifestyle changes literally just translate into somehow even higher profits for the truly responsible parties.
  Stop feeding us back-patting, self-congratulatory non solutions to a catastrophic problem bearing down on us while the solution we truly need is radical change brought about only through action that comes when we stop accepting a complicit comfort and exchange it for righteous anger.
- The article actually goes into some nice detail, but people wouldn't know that from the extremely obvious title.
  OP is posting this as a narrative with a preachy agenda, and that will turn people away before they even get to the content.
  
  It's not really preachy, it's a conclusion based on the data.
  
  The title is preachy. It is correct based on the data presented, but still preachy. The title of the article is good.
  The data itself is probably fine, but it's hand picked to come to that specific conclusion. I've had many vegetarian Thanksgivings, and I've never had Mac and Cheese at one.
