And I’m literally only talking about beef. Chicken may be atrocious from a cruelty perspective but it has a negligible environmental impact compared to beef. People who are emotionally invested in eating beef don’t see that they have the exact same mentality as anti-maskers did during the pandemic: doing this helps the entire human race and prevents the suffering of millions of people, but I refuse to even consider any change in my behavior because it makes me temporarily uncomfortable.
How can someone demand action from others against something like rising fascism when they won’t even change their lunch habits?
I feel like the “I have to eat meat every day” people overlap a lot with the “I refuse to wear a mask” people. Are you thinking they’re largely different people?

Probably pretty large, considering half of US beef consumption is by males aged 50-65.
I don’t think you can separate people so cleanly.
