plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.

'Systems change on a societal level's would mean either ending subsidies for animal agriculture in general, and investing that money into more sustainable food sources, or banning animal agriculture altogether. But every time this is mentioned, people throw a fit and threaten violent action because meat prices will go up and they feel entitled to their cheap burgers, no matter what the cost to the planet.

These pieces are not meant to shame you, they are meant to try to make people demand that these effective changes be made. But for as long as people insist that they shouldn't have to change a single thing about their lifestyle, no change will ever get made.
