    Someone who exclusively ate meat for some reason who moved to chicken would have a greater impact than someone who exclusively ate chicken and went vegan.

    But that first person could have an even bigger environmental impact by becoming Vegan instead of only eating chicken.

      yes but if you actually convince someone who eats just chicken to go vegan it will have less of an effect if you actually convince a big red meat eater to limit to chicken.

        Watch as I solve this trolley problem with the Ole dual track drifting solution. They should all go vegan. You should, too.

              Name calling derails conversations faster than drifting trains. Put yourself in their shoes and maybe just agree to disagree.

              I ate a double cheeseburger for dinner and it was better than any vegetable I’ve ever eaten.

                Did you peel the lettuce off and slather some extra bacon on it lol? It’s not like you have to go out and eat moss off a tree. It’s more about just taking maybe one day a week to consider vegetarian options. That’s all it takes to help out. No one is saying don’t eat anything that casts a shadow.

                  I eat a ton of vegetables man. I can cook delicious vegetables are extremely low on calories, so that’s an easy win.

                  I just literally did that night and I thought it was a funny moment

                    I use to eat nothing but meat, it was really gross. I would go months without eating veggies or fruits. I started slowly trying impossible burgers then I started eating more veggies and now I can’t stop. I worked in food for so many years and cooked all kinds of meat now the smell makes me sick. I have to force my self to eat meat because of some health conditions however I eat much less and feel better than I once did. I guess its about balance and finding out what works for you but sometimes you get into a rut and don’t think too much about what you are doing to your body until its too late!

      You’d have a bigger impact by convincing 30% of the population to only have chicken, vs convincing 15% to go vegan.

        Sure, and if we could only do one, we should choose accordingly. We can do both, simultanously. Exactly like how we don’t have to choose between eating less meat and driving less cars.

        This is true, however, not realistic in some parts of the world. For instance, in the United States, Republicans have waged a war on bodily autonomy, which includes the Roe v. Wade ruling and states creating departments to hunt down citizens who go out of state to have abortions. There are also countries where sex education is not prohibited. So, take these things into consideration while thinking about potential solutions. That being said, you are right, and you can do something about it by voting, if you are able to, wherever you live.
