    Cattle is shit for climate change. Probably the single worst thing you can do is eat meat. Why? Deforestation and water use. If people stop eating meat, both of those things plummet, as do emissions.

        Yes. Stop eating it. I suppose you’re the type of commie who doesn’t believe individuals banding together can make any sort of change though? That we should wait on our democratically elected officials and not do anything on our own?

          me choosing to buy beans isn’t banding together to make change.

            Ok. Individuals can’t make any sort of change, got it. So you’d never participate in a revolution because you’re just one person.

              sure they can. but buying beans isn’t an effective way to create the change you’re talking about.

          baby, i’m an anarchist. i think you need to come up with a plan to make the change you want to see, and hoping that capitalists stop making meat, or that others stop buying it, doesnt sound like an effective plan.

            Alright, you win this one. Water shortages are never a problem and we have unlimited fresh water on our planet. Nobody is impacted by droughts ever.
