I really liked this video. But as a poor person I kind of felt like it didn’t really acknowledge the financial constraints most people have.
i can only afford to eat meat once a week, otherwise I don’t have enough food at all. I eat it once a week because I don’t have the money or energy to venture into vegan supplements and stuff.
But I can only afford the absolute dirt cheap stuff. It sucks. I want a society where I have the capacity to make a choice in meat consumption, but I do not. Because disabled people who can’t work like me are left to live in poverty.

The problem–for the U.S. anyway–is the meat lobby influences how the meat industry is regulated. They would slap a label on pork and beef and raise the price 100% while the animals are still being mistreated. The government would need to step in (like in France and Germany) to regulate labels and ensure better conditions for animals.
