If you have a choice, regular meat-eating in Western society is one of the most selfish, deluded things a person can do and future generations (if we even make it that far) will look back on those people, myself included, the same way we look at antivaxxers.

Genuine question: how do you see this response as different than rednecks in lifted trucks saying things like “guess I’ll roll more coal for every Prius I see”?

Well I ofcourse wont be increasing how much I eat just because of some very vocal random vegans. Just wanted to write an equally belligerent message.

Then let me rephrase my question again, how is your original reply any different than rednecks in lifted trucks who say “Well, I’m gonna have to roll as much coal as I can until it’s illegal,” when people point out the direct environmental harm that their cars have on the environment? The effects of the meat industry w/r/t climate change are well-established and indefensible. It’s okay to acknowledge that there are some major hurdles for many people with switching to a meatless or meat-reductive diet (I even pointed out that I’m in no way a vegan or vegetarian in my top comment), but your smug response to the very real concerns of the meat industry as “welp, guess I’ve just got to eat as much meat as possible before it’s illegal or kills us all” comes across as incredibly ignorant and conservative. If I’m misunderstanding the message of your reply, please correct me, but I really don’t think I am.
