This theory always brings to mind when I worked at a grocery store. I had just gone vegetarian for environmental reasons and a lady came to the cash register with ~20 or so of the 1lb ground beef packets. I asked her what they were for and she said “my dog”. Even at my peak I would eat maybe 2-3lbs or ground beef a week, her dog eats 20X that.
This was maybe 8 years ago, global warming was well known, the horrors of the meat industry were well known. My main gripe with this theory is that it acts like we have a choice about whatever fate our nature is driving us towards.
