Operative word you. Individual action was a deliberate red herring constructed by the FF industry propaganda machines half a fucking century ago, because they knew who the actual significant contributors to the problem were.

Being alive is bad for the environment.

The single best thing you can do for the climate is not existing. The next best thing is not having kids. The lifetime of consumption of a person is out of the equation without that person. Until we figure out how to live sustainably on this earth, overpopulation is a real problem.

Rice and refried beans for me! (my cholesterol is high)

Reading this I should live like a medieval peasant and only eat potatoes, onions, and root vegetables and drink nothing but beer. I'm kinda down with that.

Unrelated - tagging in Voyager is really handy!

I recommend everyone give it a try, helps you identify, say, people who might be talking a big contrarian game without providing any of their own peer reviewed sources to back themselves up. Very interesting feature.

Not eating red meat is so fucking easy now. If I can be an old man who went to school uphill in the snow both ways for a second, I dropped meat 20ish years ago in the US deep south, and holy fuck talk about an impossible diet. Even the vegetables had meat in them, and that is not a joke.

This is obviously going to depend on your area and how much of a food desert you’re in, but I’ve never seen so much access to so many kinds of meat replacements in average grocery stores and not just bougie upscale places. Tofu, tempeh, fake meat everything! Which isn’t even a big part of my diet, but I love having the option when I want something new.

Woah, didn't know about cheese (although makes sense), coffee and chocolate.

Why do coffee and chocolate have such an impact?

For a brief moment reading this, I couldn't remember the last time I ate beef -- but then I remembered the summer sausage in the fridge... which probably has beef in it, so... yesterday. Other than that purchase, I don't know if I've had any other beef this year.

The study found that 12% of Americans consume nearly half of the country's beef

So if we got that particular 1/8th to cut down, we'd be half way there! Just like if we could get the 1% to cut down on [so many things], we'd be in the clear!

For me, this wasn't too hard. Cheese on the other hand..that will be a challenge
