    The vast majority of pollution is from agriculture. Are you gonna quit eating meat anytime soon?

      I did, and so should everyone else that claims to want to do something about the climate catastrophe.
      Artificially grown meat is quickly becoming more and more viable, it’s not like it will be impossible forever to have a steak.

        I also stopped eating meat and also for climate first, but I wouldn’t say a person is hypocritical not to either. The problem is not with individual consumers, our impacts are pretty much nonexistent on a problem of this scope. The problem is on our failures of regulators, and of grassroots organizations to enact change. If we want to have impact individually it’s not by eating beans, it’s by [redacted]. Or at least by organizing disruptive protest.

          And you just won’t be able to convince enough people to stop eating meat to stop animals from being reared and slaughtered. Humans have been eating meat since before we were homo sapiens. Expecting the masses to adopt a radically different diet is foolish.
