  1. All these conservative boomers like “the libs want to take away our hamburgers!”

    Actually yes, IDGAF, if we have to make you stop eating meat to save the planet you can stfu

  2. But tofu doesn’t involve animal torture NOR does it cause cancer… soooo…

    **Oh no WAIT that’s a good thing!!!**

  3. But if I can’t eat as many animals as I want, is the Earth even worth saving? /s

  4. And it’s even more wasteful when you look at how inefficiently feed is converted into the finished product:

    *For every 100 calories of grain we feed animals, we get only about 40 new calories of milk, 22 calories of eggs, 12 of chicken, 10 of pork, or 3 of beef.*

  5. What about grams of protein?

    Like this you’re counting water
