  I continued eating beef 4 years ago. It was also a great decision.

    Why would someone proudly glout about that? Like, you saw the OPs image right? It’s one of the worst things a consumer can do for the climate. What a bizarro banner to fly.

      Because I decided to care about my own happiness more than virtue signalling. When a politician says that they will impose a pigouvian tax on meat, I’ll vote for them. But I’m not gonna make myself miserable for literally no change in climate outcomes.

        Eating planet based obviously != Virtue signalling unless you publically mention it, so there’s that issue solved for you.

        But what a lazy and incurious way to live, “I will continue perpetuation moral atrocities while contributing to the destruction of the planet unless daddy government tells me to stop”.
