How Taylor Swift goes downstairs to get milk
Meat consumption is legitimate problem though
Yeah the ultra wealthy have a disproportionate individual impact on the climate, but a climate neutral world (which would still be experiencing catastrophe, we’ve passed that point) would still require lifestyle changes from everyone.
I get the frustration that people have about this, but while they have large magnitude to individual ratios we have large individual to magnitude factors. The issue is that its the sum of the products of those. It may be significantly irrelevant if you personally quit meat, but if enough people quit meat that your grocery store moves to treating meat as a specialty item then that’s a bigger blip, and if Kroger has to do that nationwide that one might show up on global warming graphs as is.
Ultimately this is going to require changing things. Removing meat subsidies will do far more than you going vegetarian, but part of how it will do that is by you and everyone else eating less meat.
Most climate ads etc aew propaganda by the billionaires to convince us that it’s our fault the planet is fucked. It’s actually their fault and im done taking the blame
We need to map out the bunkers / assets of our elites. To better play chicken with them. Let’s all live like they do and if their example destroys the world, we make sure to clean up our mess on our way out… for the people who come after us.
So eating meat is now rebelling against the billionaires…
For every dollar a billionaire spends trying to get you to eat less meat, other billionaires spend 100x more trying to get you to eat more meat through advertising, lobbying, etc.
If you want to play into the billionaires plans, eat more meat. If you want to help stop climate change, eat less meat.
Unless you plan on actually doing something about these billionaires, like Luigi. In which case I’ll personally buy you all the filet mignon you can eat.
Nothing common people do has much bearing on what will happen to the future of the world
The biggest most glaring problem we have is a BILLIONAIRE CLASS that think they can manage, manipulate and control an entire planet and its people in order to generate even more useless wealth and riches for themselves is the single greatest problem facing humanity.
No matter the problem in the world … BILLIONAIRES and the ultra wealthy are the root cause … get rid of them, outlaw them or remove their wealth and power and the majority of the world’s problems would be solved or meaningfully dealt with.
Instead we all choose to bury our heads in the sand, ignore the fact that the world is controlled by a handful of psychopathic hoarders and suggest that we just stop eating meat, get rid of plastic straws or recycle cardboard.
Agreed, but the meat thing isn’t really up for debate tho. Food production is like 30% of global emissions and meat is almost 60% of that. Add in the fact that the agg industry is functionally responsible for basically all ecosystem collapse (massive footprint, pesticides, chemicals, etc…) and we absolutely have to minimize it ASAP. As in, right now.
Halting meat production is a layup. That’s not going to change no matter what our wealth distribution looks like.
It should also be mentioned that excessive meat (especially red meat) consumption is probably not healthy and causes cardiovascular disease. So, everybody has a personal interest in eating less meat.

If you remove one CEO from office, another one would take their place, because that’s the rule of the game. CEOs have a fiduciary duty to maximize the company’s profits as much as possible, so if you replace a CEO by another, they would (have to) behave the same way.
We need to change the rules of the game, instead of changing the individuals on the playing field. We need to change the laws sothat they grant the common people greater prosperity and ensure sustainability. We need to pressure politicians instead of CEOs.
Just that in today’s world, CEOs are in bed with politicians, so i guess pressuring either would do the same thing.
Most of the problem with meat production comes from the way we produce meat, rather than the amount. Which is inevitably dictated by big money interests, simply being allowed to do whatever they want, in order to maximize profit margins.
Bovines produce huge amounts of methane. There is no getting around that fact.
That’s not actually as true as people have been led to believe. If cow farts were really such a large factor, then we would have already been having a climate change issue, based simply on the natural dietary habits of grazing animals.
The majority of the emissions attributed to the meat industry are due to background factors involved in their care and upkeep. It’s a very resource heavy process, that produces an enormous amount of waste. They include everything in their assessments, from their food production, all the way down to heating and electricity requirements for their facilities. Depending on the area, that can be as bad as coal-burning power plants and diesel engines to harvest hay. Nothing about the meat industry is “clean”.
