    It’s not the eating it really. It’s the farming and processing. I think it’s important to be clear so consumers aren’t stuck with all the blame.we buy what’s cheap and available and their pursuit of that has lead us here.

        Yes and no. If its just got survival, sure. But if someone is eating grazing meat, they’re already in luxury eating territory.

        So we have to then consider foods such as “fancy” vegan burger patties and stuff. Which are all crazy expensive, at least over here.

          If you choose to compare “fancy plant based capitalism” to reconstructed chicken sludge yes. But then I could compare beans to kobe beef?

          Most of the plant based meat-like products are aimed towards meat eaters but a normal plant based diet is cheaper in every part of the world. The poorest people eat way more plants not by choice but because they are economical forced to.

      That’s a silly statement. Then let’s say driving our cars doesn’t either. It’s the combustion engine processing the gasoline, but turning the wheel and pressing the pedal does nothing
