      I mean, sure. But you can’t just convince a critical mass of people to understand love. If we’re gonna turn the ship, we’ll need to find something else to leverage. Regulations seem like the most obvious point to me.

          What do you mean? Government. This is the only real chance given the scale and timeliness of the change needed.

            Yes, but a democratically elected government generally won’t pass policy that isn’t endorsed by many of its constituents. Policy that eg universally increases the cost of meat by placing strict limits on farmers would not do well without a significant shift in voter opinion and reduction in funding of animal agriculture lobby funding.

              Yup. I didn’t say it was very likely, just that of all the nigh-insurmountable obstacles, that one seems the most realistic.
