The problem is, this is a global trend: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-47057341 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-47057341
Who are we to tell e.g. India and China (about 3 billion people in total) to eat less meat as they grow richer?
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoWell, I wouldn't. But eating more meat doesn't have to mean intensive farming. Or perhaps it's more complex than what it looks and the reason why Greeks, Indians, Chinese, etc eat more meat as they become more affluent is because their affluence attracts mass industries like industrial farming. In which case it's not a genuine consumer demand to eat more meat but just an effect of there being more of it available and at a cheap price.
