Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat

While ‘convert everyone to vegetarians’ may be a desirable resolution for you, it’s not realistic. And certainly not achievable in the timeframe needed to reduce climate change impacts.

Not saying those efforts can’t be done in parallel, but subsidizing vat grown meat is necessary as well.

Imo it’s just really easy to switch stuff like burgers, nuggets, chicken wings, chicken breast etc. over to a (good) plant-based equivalent, I don’t feel like I’ve lost anything by doing that. It would already remove a lot of environmental destruction and animal suffering without people going fully vegetarian or vegan.

Yes, I agree with that and I’ll be happy when it gets affordable.

  Maybe “easy” for an individual to switch. Quite another thing to shift an entire culture and society to vegetarianism. And completely unrealistic for the short term.
