One of my ideas for slowing the rate of meat consumption: You may only buy meat if you are under the age of 18, or you have a Meat Medallion.
Medallions are obtained by successfully killing an animal over the size of a rat, on your own, with only close-ranged weaponry.
That put you off? Good! It should! Some people would still stomach it.
I've got a Meat Medallion 4 ur mom lol
I like the idea of having a trial to prove understanding, but it sounds like needless cruelty. Maybe a day of work in an abattoir would be better.
I mean, if you believe killing animals is needless cruelty, then...should that mean you just shouldn't eat meat?
Fair enough. I'm on board if we also don't allow the purchase of any plant based products to anyone who hasn't put in a season working in the fields. If I can't exploit Porky for meat without having skin in the game, you can't exploit Manuel for labor without doing the same.
What's the meat allotment per Medallion? It sounds like abstracted hunting
Infinite. Whatever you can afford with your wallet.
The point being only people who have one may buy it in restaurants/etc.
Ah, it's more a "license" than a "token". Then, it should expire at the end of the year.
Plenty of people will continue to take things for granted, if it's not reinforced.
