Brian Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 It’s the most depressing thing in my life especially since there is nothing I can do. I will buy an electric car. I will get solar panels. I plan moving from gas to electric heat. None of this will matter. It’s futile. 1 Quote

Comet Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I went plant based 3.5 years ago to do my part. It’s not much, but I felt compelled to try something. This will only be solved by massive investment, not a collective of individual efforts of people not eating meat or buying electric cars. 1 1 Quote

Nah, vegetarian isn’t plant-based since they still eat plenty of animal by-products. So vegan. But I say plant based since I don’t care for processed junk like Oreos which are technically vegan.

CitizenVectron Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 We've given up red meat, and have also reduced our chicken and fish consumption. It's mostly been for health reasons, but the climate considerations are there. Quote

Comet Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 And McDonald’s is testing their Beyond burger at a few stores which I took a bite out of one a few weeks ago and it isn’t bad at all. They’re decent meat substitutions for sure, but don’t let them fool you for being healthy. They’re delicious sodium bombs. 1 Quote
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Meat consumption in and of itself isn’t a big deal for climate. Deforestation is however Quote

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Like @Comet - I stopped consuming practically all animal products since last October though I will still have salmon on occasion as I do need that protein infusion from time to time. Of all the animal products, cheese was BY FAR the most difficult for me to kick. Quote

Sorry, I’m just a crusty old vegetarian that’s like “what’s wrong with saying vegan or vegetarian?!? Stupid marketing executives making the things I like attractive to more ppl, causing a reduction in meat consumption, which I want!!!! Stupid corpo jackasses!” Quote

After comments like this below "The quality is perfectly adequate by my standards, but then again "appetizing" is definitely NOT a priority for me" I just assume you would eat a charcoal briquet if it met your daily nutrient intake Quote

Chicken is mostly fine however. 1 Quote

Beyond and Impossible are both explicitly going after the "doesn't want to stop eating meat but will do so if you give them a good alternative" market, not the market that's already interested in going veggie for health reasons.

In fact, the day that science creates a pill that will fulfill my daily nutritional requirements, I'll be first in line to get it! The same goes for a pill that fulfills the physiological/psychological requirements for sleep. Quote
