food, environment
it really bothers me when i see north americans critiquing the environmental benefits of plant based food... yes there are cultures and environments where animal husbandry benefits the land and the people and forcing all humans to stop eating meat would be colonialist. but like...if you live in north america you are getting your meat from factory animals and literally any other form of food production would be less environmentally destructive

@dankwraith Ultimately the failing here is that people as whole will readily adopt rapid changes to society when it is seen as progress (200 years ago we not only didn’t have iPhones but were still using horses as a primary means of fast transport), but are far too ponderous about making changes that are essentially downgrades, even when such downgrades are empirically the only way to preserve society against an existential threat looming only a few generations downstream.
