    Do you want to REALLY cut down on pollution? Stop giving free money to the giant corporations that are causing the most of it.

    I’m not going to be vegan and I’m not going to eat bugs. If the corporations want to stop climate change, the corporations are causing the most of it.

      Absolving yourself of responsibility when these factory farming corporations like JBS only exist because you keep buying meat. Nothing will change systematically without the individual change.

        they existed long before anyone alive today started buying meat. there is no reason to believe they care if anyone stops.

        I’m not eating bugs. Real meat from animals is good for you. stop giving hundreds of billions per year to oil companies

          No is suggest you eat bugs when there are great plant-based alternatives such as pulses, peas, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains.

          Real meat from animals is good for you

          It’s objectively bad for you in the quantities eaten by the west. Cutting out red meat, milk and most of the other animal products from your diet is measurably better for your health.

          Stop giving billions to giant multinational cattle farming companies. It’s just as large an emissions source as oil (which you can also stop funding directly by avoiding driving where possible and going solar-powered electric for the rest)

            If I can get meat from a local farm is that ok? Am I excused from causing pain if I know it’s from an actual farm where I can go and pet the cow before eating it? Asking for a friend…

              Because the cow is murdered and you’re definitely lying about buying small farm meat when the vast majority of meat is from factory farms. It’s always the Carnist gotcha that is always a lie.
