These transformations are tied to the changing American diet. Since the early 1980s, America’s per-person cheese consumption has doubled, largely in the form of mozzarella-covered pizza pies. And last year, for the first time, the average American ate 100 pounds of chicken, twice the amount 40 years ago.

    Produce less people. Reducing the per person carbon production is meaningless when we keep adding people. In 1950, there way 1/3rd less people and less than half the number of Americans.

    We have eaten animal protein for millennia. It was instrumental to our evolution. It’s only a problem now that we have way too many people

        That is natalist propaganda.

        Infinite growth isn’t possible. And there is no eugenics. EVERYONE needs to slow down

          your propaganda campaign isn’t addressing everyone equally. if it’s successful at all, it will disproportionately effect one segment of the population.

            Facts are not propaganda.

            And, no, it won’t. Hell, I’d rather rich people stop having kids more than any other demographic. They use by far the most resources.

              facts are propaganda when stated in the context of attempting to induce a political position.

                So you admit everything I said is a fact?

                But, no. Propaganda is misleading. And yours is propaganda.

                  Propaganda is misleading.

                  not necessarily. it can be dishonest by simply not giving all the facts.

              , no, it won’t.

              anyone who doesn’t have Internet access or who can’t read English can’t be effected by your propaganda campaign.

                    No, I am 100% sure you are both wrong and a complete douche.

            And how do you suppose we don’t have infinite growth if people are encouraged to have as many kids as possible?

                Sure you are. You are telling people that we can continue growing for eternity with no damage to the environment.

                Or do you agree each additional child adds further stress to the environment?

                    Rich from the guy claiming I’m a eugenicist.

                    But you admit my premise is sound.

      We’re already reducing population. In order to stave off disaster without atrocity we will need to accept lifestyle changes. Groundwater issues are a problem now, not in a generation. And there have been vegans and vegetarians for millennia too.
