Common sense goes a long way. Radicalism is always stupid.

Just eat meat once a week or month. Eat whatever in moderation.

Moderation is key.

Getting all meat eaters to cut intake by 50% is easier than getting 50% of meat eaters to turn vegan.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Arguably carnivores have already cut meat intake, at least red meat, to greater impact than vegetarians.

While I’m going by anecdote rather than data

  • vegetarians/vegans are a small minority so limited impact
  • many people I know have cut back on at least red meat for health or environmental reasons.

Basically one fewer burger a week by 100 people has more impact than one person not eating meat at all

Even a switch from beef burger to chicken burger would have a substantial CO2 impact.

And that's a more reasonable way of thinking. I tried being a vegetarian and a vegan. Not compatible with my body and factoring in supplements, too expensive.

Thats not how world markets work though. 20% of meat eaters turning vegan would compound vegan movement more than 50% less meat consumed. The former grows vegan market explicitly while the latter just maybe shrinks the meat market only. You have consider availability, research and development, service, pop culture and the fact that we massive overconsume food so less consumption does not directly shrink the market in linear fashion.

True. The goal of less animal farming may just achieve cheaper meat prices. Probably some tarrif/subsidy policy is needed to actual reduce production.

Radicalism is always stupid. Moderation is key.

How often do you eat babies?

Personally, I'm radically against eating babies.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Everything in moderation, including moderation. You've got to choose what you're radical about, lest it choose you.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

So in your opinion they were doing a ridiculous roundabout way to assert "Use your best moral judgement?"

My money's on them never replying to agree or disagree with your guess at their intent.

I had no idea there was a market for eating human eggs. Seems like an extremely low Calorie:Cost ratio, but capitalism gonna capitalism I guess.

A moderate genocide will do, local centrist claims

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're doing a moderate genocide every time you change your diet or even the ph of your mouth. Those bacteria didn't consent to die

This approach isnt helping the cause, you can't conflate that responsibility to everyone. Guilt tripping is a Christian method
