      Arguably carnivores have already cut meat intake, at least red meat, to greater impact than vegetarians.

      While I’m going by anecdote rather than data

      • vegetarians/vegans are a small minority so limited impact
      • many people I know have cut back on at least red meat for health or environmental reasons.

      Basically one fewer burger a week by 100 people has more impact than one person not eating meat at all

      I think that’s not true. The easiest would be to ban animal farming, which would cut consumption nearly entirely.

        “The easiest way is just me fiating this impossible idealistic nonsense in my own head”

        You do you, man.

        An incremental step would be making it more expensive through taxes or regulation. A possible improvement rather than sitting on an impossible ideal

        Brb, giving up my entire means of livelihood in an environment where I can’t even sell off my assets because they are also banned, all in this job market. Sounds like a good way to quickly block major roadways with tractors, fuck cars should be happy.
