Become vegan and vote? Thats the whitest most privileged first world solution I've ever heard. There's around 3 billion people in the world who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Should they also recycle? They are not concerned with abstract concepts like morality when their fundamental survival is at stake. You, me, anyone would kill someone to feed their kid without a second thought. Dyanamiting fish is NOTHING to these people. >Many rich people are rich because they employ people and profit from it. Correction: Without proper regulations, Rich people EXPLOIT people in subhuman wages/conditions to make insane profit. >Many rich people are rich because they own real wealth and not (just) money. Rich people are not the problem. Rich people are no excuse for doing bad things. You basically just said "rich people aren't the problem" with no evidence for that claim. You have not sufficiently made the case that rich people aren't the problem.

Vegan food is the cheapest food and the most efficient food with regard to natural resources in the Philippines. Eating meat is a tradition and a personal choice but not a requirement in the Philippines. Maybe several millions but not billions of people are hunters or farmers living in barren locations were only grass and shrubs grow well and thus animal products are needed. Too often land is stolen for animal farming. Too often deserts are created by animal farming. Animal farming is maybe the most important activity promoting global warming. Regarding rich people: -) Why not become rich yourself instead of working for rich people ? You can not do anything else than work for rich people ? Thus rich people are not the problem. -) Except for Swaziland and North Korea, all (AFAIK) poor states in the world are democratic states were people vote for those in power. Thus the rich minority or the 10% or the 1% is not the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_monarchy#Contemporary_monarchies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_monarchy#Contemporary...
