Eating less meat ‘like taking 8m cars off road’(www.bbc.com)

So your evidence for this grand elite conspiracy is one article from the new York post. Tell me what’s the advertising budget for crickets, or if you’ve ever even seen an ad for crickets? Cause the advertising budget for Tyson foods alone is over $200 million . That’s just the industry itself, that doesn’t include restaurants like McDonald’s etc. That are also pushing you to buy meat. Tyson foods alone also lobbies the government to the tune of $2.8 million. The big money is not trying to get you to eat crickets, it’s trying to get you to eat meat.

Man you’re still missing the whole point of my argument just because I said bugs, huh?

Your brain that starved for real protein? Try meat.

Ah, name calling, the last refuge of bad takes.

If the whole point of your argument is that you’re absolved of the bad things you do because there’s someone out there doing worse things at a greater scale, then I have addressed it multiple times with the analogy showing that’s not how ethics work. You haven’t addressed the analogy or shown how it’s different.

So tell me why don’t you just go around pushing kids over for fun?, there’s people out there doing way worse to a lot more kids.

Why shouldn’t you just litter and throw your trash in the river?, there are a lot of companies out there dumping way more into that river, your bag of trash is a drop in the bucket.

If you follow this logic of “theres a worse guy out there so my relatively minor transgressions are fine” then you just become a scumbag . Yeah, you’re not evil, but society would be a lot better without you.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
