In this Our Changing Climate video essay, I look at the validity of vegan and plant-based diets as a solution to climate change. I dive into the human and planetary toll of the meat industry, looking at the massive emissions toll of beef production as well as the exploitative conditions in meat processing plants. Ultimately, I consider whether veganism is an effective tool to dismantling the meat industry and mitigating climate change.

this is addressed in the video...and actually, meat consumption is down which tells me the person who responded to you didn't watch the video. (meat consumption is down, but production is not because of capitalism especially huge parts of it like the meat industry is such a huge thing that it just keeps going because of all the top-down things keeping it going. Which is why you can't fix these things from a consumer-only perspective)

To be fair a video is not really a good way to start a debate. It's impossible to quote. Why not a text version instead?

...i wasn't trying to start a debate, i was trying to share a video. The title of this is the title of the video.
