This article says almost nothing and is clearly just anti vegan
>What have vegans and cuckoos got in common? The answer is what they lack in numbers they more than make up for in noise.
I’m not sure why the idea is perpetuated that vegans hector other people. I myself don’t eat meat and am 100% tolerant of everyone else’s choices, as I, of course, previously ate meat. And I’ve never met a vegetarian or vegan who pesters meat eaters.
Imagine being so insecure that you have to have all of your choices continually validated by everyone else, and if anyone does something different to you, even when the majority are on your ‘side’, then you feel the need to attack them. That is the position that this ‘journalist’ has taken.
The main problem is scale, right now there isn’t the demand to replace meat with substitutes so the time and resources would perhaps be better spent on other environmental measures that there is a demand for like renewable/nuclear power, preventing and cleaning up polution and building more efficient and sustainable transport or carbon capture.
Meat substitutes would be a great thing to have and are often pitched as an environmental solution but they aren’t the best thing we could be doing right now and we would probably be better off removing emissions from food production and transportation first before making a radical push to meat substitutes.
Common or garden anti-vegan article, written by a rabid boomer fuckwit and posted by a user with imaginary enemies.
Standard.
Why don’t you like vegans ted?
Is the argument in the article ‘vegan meat would solve things but people don’t eat it’?
The same people who won’t eat vegan meat aren’t going to stop eating meat and exclusively eat vegetables either.
> Instead we need to concentrate of making vegetables the centrepiece of every meal with meat as an occasional treat.
Strong disagree. Asking people to not eat meat and instead eat vegetables is way less workable than saying “here, we invented new meat, it’s not perfect right now, but it will get better and cheaper over time. You don’t have to have it, but it will soon be cheaper than real meat. It’s your choice.”
Lasting action on climate change only happens when technology improves and green things become cheaper/more desirable. People get sceptical of the whole agenda when you start banning things they like.
Another example is cars. Way better to have electric cars that use electricity efficiently, and electricity made with green energy than it is to just ban use of cars on Sunday’s. People will adjust and use electric cars, they will be pissed off if you ban driving on Sundays.
You have to bring people with you if you want actual change, not try to micro manage their desires.
Sombody tell the OP that you can’t dig upward
What a trash article, it’s so opinion based it can’t be taken seriously.
