  Or you can eat meat and tackle inequality. Doesn’t make a difference, ultimately, does it?

  And ultimately it makes sense that if one is sacrificing eating meat for the environment, then it should be those that do the most harm to said environment that make said sacrifice first.

    It makes the difference preventing the deaths of the animals and reduces water and land usage.

      I don’t care about that. Fundamentally in my view it’s okay to kill animals to eat them because they’re tasty. I don’t think you can really change that view.

      and reduces water and land usage

      I’ll be happy to make that sacrifice, but the impact to my quality of life will be disproportional compared to the actual savings incurred since compared to a billionaire I don’t consume or produce much environmental damage in the first place.

      I’m already doing the most environmentally-sound thing one can do - be child-free. I’m trans so it was gonna happen either way but I’ll claim the points. I don’t drive either, not that I wouldn’t want a gas guzzling F-150 I don’t need to barrel down the crossing by the school and grind away the plebs below, so that’s a sacrifice too.

      Therefore I see no reason why I should have to do anything to cover for them until they stop polluting. Fundamentally I see no reason to “save the earth” if we don’t have an egalitarian world worth fighting for, and all indicators point in the opposite direction at the moment.

      You’re not giving up anything when you stop eating meat

      False, eating meat is one of a few good things about being alive. You may not see it that way but it’s subjective. To me it’s a very significant sacrifice and a reduction in quality of life.

      it’s quite the opposite really you’re much healthier on a whole foods plant-based diet

      I don’t really care. I’m already doing far too much for my “health”, just so the bastards up top can exploit me into my elderly years instead of being some lead poisoned boomer who just chills out off their infinite house price raises and pensions going to conspiracy conventions or whatever it is they do.

      Do not base your character by comparing yourself to the most morally reprehensible in our society.

      There’s nothing morally wrong with eating meat in my view to start with so I don’t view any of this as morally reprehensible, it’s a sacrifice and a pretty big one, and living the working class life I already got jack and shit, so its not unfair that we get our share first.

        Pretty ignorant and arrogant of a response.

        That is incredibly selfish of you to say. You need to grow up and start caring about others. You sound like a sociopath. You wouldn’t like it if people say they didn’t care about trans people. So knock it off and be better. You have no right to participate and excuse the exploitation and murder of the animals. Many people have changed their minds after they saw the horrors what the animals have gone through.

        I’ll be happy to make that sacrifice, but the impact to my quality of life will be disproportional compared to the actual savings incurred since compared to a billionaire I don’t consume or produce much environmental damage in the first place.

I don’t drive either, not that I wouldn’t want a gas guzzling F-150 I don’t need to barrel down the crossing by the school in and grind away the plebs below, who wouldn’t? So that’s a helluva sacrifice too.

        Therefore I see no reason why I should have to do anything to cover for them until they stop polluting. Fundamentally I see no reason to “save the earth” if we don’t have an egalitarian world worth fighting for, and all indicators point in the opposite direction at the moment.

        That is whaboutism distracting from the real issue… did you know that factory farms workers are exploited relentlessly and it’s often poor folks who are of colour.

        I dont miss meat at all. There are plenty of tasty plant-based foods out there. You just need to try them out. Look at Turkurky, Impossible and Beyond for direct meat alternatives.

        I don’t really care. I’m already doing far too much for my “health”, just so the bastards up top can exploit me into my elderly years instead of being some lead poisoned boomer who just chills out off their infinite house price raises and pensions going to conspiracy conventions or whatever it is they do.

        Easy to say that when you’re healthier right now when you can still participate in your own hobbies. We don’t need selfish people like you putting extra strain on the healthcare system.

        There’s nothing morally wrong with eating meat in my view to start with so I don’t view any of this as morally reprehensible, it’s a sacrifice and a pretty big one, and living the working class life I already got jack and shit, so its not unfair that we get our fair share first. Then I’ll buy into sacrifices for a world worth saving.

        Just because it is enjoyable for you does not make it okay for you to exploit others. Rape is enjoyable for the perpetrators but we all know that isn’t a legitimate excuse.
