plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.

This is a “yes and” thing. The main thing is not to guilt yourself over it. It’s hard to make a change, but every positive change is just positive full stop. Try and have a vegetarian breakfast. When you’re managing that, try and have meat once a day. Just keep on doing little things. Yes, also vote, the vast majority of emissions happen due to what happens at the ballot box, but every little bit counts if you think of it positively rather than negatively.
I think that’s where the “it’s the industry’s fault” bit comes from. It’s not you personally who have to make all of the changes, but you can make some changes and it’s a positive thing.

What the heck kind of Martin Luther King Honda Civic are you driving?
Anyway, my point was that you should set reasonable goals for yourself and celebrate them, because they are good. Like I’m a vegetarian, and I’m trying to reduce my milk product consumption. It’s all part of living a happy, healthy life, not being part of negative cycles or thought processes.

Why not do what’s right without having it forced on you by regulation?

That’s a pretty fucked stance to have
How would you feel as the price of steak and milk goes up? Would you vote to artificially limit prices? Would you vote to give corporations which make meat more money so they could give you cheaper beef? Heck, those prices are already subsidised by the government. Would you vote to remove those subsidies?
