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

NOT up to individuals to reduce our carbon footprint. It's the goddamn industries.

Individuals can reduce the demand for meat and the industry will follow.

industries shape and drive the demand …

BS. Onus is never upon 99% of individuals.

How do you expect governments to pass laws to regulate the meat and dairy industries if most people still eat meat and get irrational about the thought of reducing its intake?

Without the buy-in from individuals, change doesn't happen

Govt should function within the context of what's best for everyone. Clearly regulating industries that are at blame for massive contribution to climate change should be scrutinized.

Again, you're trying to pass it off to individuals. Stop the bullshit.
