We’re being nudged to eat meat. What if the tables were turned?

1. Veganism is just another cult.

2. Most people eat meat and it’s delicious.

3. this still does not solve the problem of anthropogenic climate change, during which we emit huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This article only talks about the benefits of plant foods, changing the diet to plant foods as a replacement for meat in general. The benefits of plant foods are not denied, I even agree, I love to eat salad. But I will not give up meat either, since it is part of our diet, and it is also important in our lives. All these articles that only talk about changing our diet, our lifestyle, etc. for the future of the environment are all just a distraction from the real problem. Corporations that extract oil, gas and coal and our consumption of these products – that is the real problem. We burn them, carbon dioxide comes out, because of the excessively huge concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect is rapidly increasing, the oceans are acidifying and their efficiency in absorbing carbon dioxide is decreasing, extreme temperatures are becoming even more extreme, some people cannot stand 40°C heat at all and then faint. Hurricanes, winds, rain are becoming stronger, and to solve these problems, some individuals come to the museum and smear soup from a can, “funny”.

4. Less meat? As in the diet that has greater health benefits and feelings of wellness less meat? The diet with less emissions and less environmental impact less meat?

5. A large portion of our emissions are from our farming practices, and an especially large cut in emissions is possible from reducing meat in diets. It’s okay to worry about multiple issues at once, and reducing meat intake would reduce carbon emissions.

6. > studies show that putting plant-based dishes at the front of a buffet or renaming plant-based dishes to highlight flavours, textures and ingredients rather than their healthiness or lack of meat also encourages omnivores to choose them. For example, renaming “meat-free sausages and mash” to “Cumberland-spiced veggie sausages and mash” increased sales by 76 per cent at a chain of UK cafes.

   Funny how labeling things with what they *do* have rather than what they *don’t* is usually better at getting people interested.
