I agree and I don’t think you’re an asshole.
There is a bigger problem before a one-size-fits-all-no-meat solution, climate change deniers.
If you can’t get people to acknowledge the problem is real, you aren’t going to get them to make a big life change to help address it.
I’m on the same page as you regarding meat. I love it. One of my hobbies is cooking it. That’s said, I acknowledge there is a problem and I want to do my part, despite that it may not do much in the grand scheme of things.
We are now a single electric car household, I walk or ride my bike to most things, I take a ride share if I have to go across LA.
Three dinners a week are vegetarian/vegan from Veestro (prepared meals) so I don’t have to _work_ to have a “lower quality” meal.[1]
I moved east in LA so I could own property to start growing my own food (not fully self sustained - yet)
All the vegans still driving cars, how green are those cars? Are they getting more efficient? How green are the trucks moving the produce you buy? Why do you live in a big city paying rent instead of having a home with land that you can grow your own food?
Use a phone? Gotta get that new phone as soon as it comes out?[2] Live in a house? Look out a window? What’s the carbon footprint of processing the sand to make this things?
People need to spend more time pressuring governments and corporations and finding any way that they can personally help that keeps them happy with their quality of life and less time looking down their nose at other individuals for not following their holier-than-thou solution.
[1] veestro isn’t low quality, it’s pretty good. I meant lower quality in my eyes because it’s lacking a key ingredient
[2] I only buy refurbed phones because I know sand is a bitch.
