stickly@lemmy.world 1 day agoAgreed, but the meat thing isn’t really up for debate tho. Food production is like 30% of global emissions and meat is almost 60% of that. Add in the fact that the agg industry is functionally responsible for basically all ecosystem collapse (massive footprint, pesticides, chemicals, etc…) and we absolutely have to minimize it ASAP. As in, right now.
Halting meat production is a layup. That’s not going to change no matter what our wealth distribution looks like.

It should also be mentioned that excessive meat consumption is probably not healthy and causes cardiovascular disease. So, everybody has a personal interest in eating less meat.

Many people don’t give a real fuck about their health (until they got problems). But yeah, for everybody who does it is a another good argument.
