More like ignoring all of my points while being so smug it's palpable through my screen. I imagine you're just as insufferable in real life.

But sure, pretend like some people not eating meat will automatically make wide systemic changes to industrial meat production. Keep sucking your own dick while ignoring that there's an even larger issue at play here that goes outside of 'just don't eat meat".

Feel free to waft your own farts while I ask about affordable alternatives to meat in countries where it is heavily subsidized. Saying 'potatoes, beans, rice" doesn't answer that question because it doesn't account for the protein deficiencies without the knowledge to supplement that into a person's diet. Something the average person does not know and is not educated on. Nor does it make up for the cost difference in said dishes.m at least in the country I'm from. Things like vegetables tend to cost more for less when compared calorically to meat. And there are a lot of places where you could get a pound of meat for $3 where I'm from.

And what was that you asked about what "lobbying body, governing group" parented me on how to eat meat? The US education department. You want to say it gave me a shitty education, get in line. You can act like a smug asshole all you want, but don't pretend like you've addressed anything here.

It's like I'm taking to a toddler that doesn't know anything besides "nuh-uh". You are the very reason no one listens when people try to start talking about eating less meat.

I gotcha. You don't want to actually work towards any solutions, you just want to smell your own asshole all day so you feel superior to everyone.

Come talk to me when you get over yourself.

Are we going to ignore things like the massive meat subsidies and the way that eating meat is actively encouraged? There are people that can't afford a high caloric alternative outside of meat. Or what about the fact that most in the west were raised on heavy meat diets and don't know how to swap at the drop of a hat?

To act like there are no outside influences when it comes to eating meat is utterly ignorant. Of course the meat industry has to be massively overhauled. But maybe blame the people/industry that have been actively perpetuating it rather than those that just figured out there needs to be a change.

Over 3 years ago in the US: several police officers murdered a black man named George Floyd over him using a counterfeit bill within a local convenience store. They placed him on the ground and at least 2 of them placed their knees on Mr. Floyd, including one officer named Derek Chauvin who placed his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd.

Chauvin would hold his knee there for over 7 minutes until Mr. Floyd was unresponsive. He was declared dead not even an hour later. The death of Mr. Floyd caused a wave of protests across the nation as a result of his death, and there was a greater emphasis placed on murders done by American Police. This was also essentially back to back with the public's discovery of the murder of Ahmaud Abrey who was killed by a former cop; as well as the murder of Brianna Taylor by cops who went to the wrong house in plain clothes and started shooting.

Simply put, a lot of people don't trust police in the US. Many find that police are often useless in investigations, and the body count that they rack up as alleged professionals is terrifying. This sentiment has only grown over the past several years, and there is an ever growing list of murder done by the police in the US with a very large portion being innocent civilians such as the ones mentioned above.

I hope this helped some.

My guess in their logic is that you can't be ad tracked.

That is of course if you believe that this blatantly authoritarian measure was actually done in response to terrorism.
