I believe the crusade against red meat comes mostly from the environmental footprint which is pretty much the same for sirloin and brisket, and significant even for industrial grown cattle.

- kjkjadksj 3y agoIf that were truly the case the crusaders would be trying to stymie the meat industry on environmental legislative grounds. Instead all we get is some abstracted sense of blame at the consumer level, no real action, no real teeth, no real change to industry or society.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoHow do you suggest people change a massive, incumbent, dominant animal ag industry married to the government (e.g. billions of subsidies per year, ag-gag laws) without changing personal attitudes about animal ag and consumer level behavior? And why can't they do both at once? Animal-free products from nut milks to meat alternatives are a growing industry, so clearly something is working without having to somehow do the impossible task of changing the government and doing it independent of popular opinion.
