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.

For somepeople surely.

But many people must eat meat.

If you can stop then stop. If anyone can’t then we will figure a solution.

Most can but won’t. This is the issue. Not the other way around.

A less divisive goal of reducing your consumption is a good first step to get mental uptake. People are not ready to be told to stop entirely. If we could set a goal to reduce our consumption by 50% that would an awesome start.

I think that we are way past that, but to anyone their opinion. Now please take in consideration the comment I'm replying to and try to understand that the issue is not that some people can't stop eating animal product, but that most that can won't. Plain and simple.

We are in the climate magazine. In all place on kbin, here we should be aware of fallacies and on what contribute to climate change. Animal products consumption contributes a lot. It's time to stop it when you can, not reduce. Let's the other climate deniers reduce...

Please have more courage than your politicians. Facts are facts.
