    I wasn’t talking about the article, I was talking about online discourse. Whenever climate has come up, it’s almost always focussed on meat only in recent times.

    We know plant based emit fewer emissions. We know red meat produces more than other meat such as chicken. We do need to make progress on emissions, and that can be cutting down meat consumption and also switching from red meat to chicken. If you eat red meat 7 days a week, and have 2 days without, and 2 days chicken instead, you’re making inroads on emissions. Why is there a fixation of veganism? That was the comment I was responding to. I think it has less about the environment and more about vegans who are using the climate to further push their own personal agenda.
