    It’s not false hope though. I’m saying veganism has a positive impact on climat change. It has far more of an impact than paper straws etc. In any case, a sustainable world means eating less meat.

    You are correct that there are better ways to make a difference but i’m saying every little helps. People should be encouraged to go vegan as much as possible. You’re probably right that if 3% of USians investigated the corruption we’d see change. But 3% of the population going vegan would have an impact too.

    I believe it will take individual AND systemic changes to stop climate change. I would never shit on someone trying to make a difference, however small.

    To answer your last point.

    Obviously these are extreme examples and in another universe may not have had the same impact.

    I’m just not sure what you’re trying to say. That everyone should eat meat and investigate US corruption. That’s as crazy as saying everyone should go vegan. Why are you shitting on vegans?
