BlackRoseEating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
Move to lemm.eeIn this thread: Shit loads of people who will say they care about the climate crisis on one day, then say they don’t care about the 18.5% of carbon emissions that the meat industry causes the next day.
Individual habits MUST be changed to solve this part of the problem. Getting triggered and writing screeds because you’ve spent decades getting caught up in jokes about vegans won’t stop the planet burning.
slstIt’s insane how hard the cognitive dissonance hits. Everyone is trying to find excuses to justify their choices
I used to be a smoker several decades ago and didn’t defend smoking as hard as people defend meat.
Some people have made eating meat and making fun of vegans their entire personality. They buy things and spend time posting on social media about it. It is basically their hobby. Really sad, honestly.
I think part of it is that, similar to console wars there’s like a consumer choice loyalty thing. But on top of that there’s also a resistance generated by the moral part. And that’s all in addition to the usual resistances to change.
