UN wants world population to be on meat-free diets

[Taco-Calamitous]

I mean, everyone in the world switching to a vegan diet would be better for our environment, but there are a lot of factors that make it really hard for everyone to do that. Everyone has to be educated on how to cook vegan foods, or even pick vegan meals. Prices for vegan foods might be more expensive or less accessible than foods that involve animal products, as well, depending on what stores are around you, and what they sell. Plus, you have to convince everyone that there's an issue with the environment in the first place, and a lot of people (stubbornly) believe that there isn't one. Also, a lot of people don't seem to believe that a strict vegan diet is healthy, and would refuse to eat vegan (as evidenced in this thread, heh). You can't really force these kinds of changes on people; they'll rebel. People have to want that change for it to work, otherwise we're just acting a bit like fascists...

Change is hard. Life is hard.

I think if you got rid of Burger King and McDonald's, you'd be solving a lot of problems. I can only imagine the number of cows and chickens that are killed.

It would also work to solve problems like obseity and the beetus.

At the end of the day though, it's up to the individual to make the smart decision. If you eat at these places every day, you're gonna get fat, sick or both. Most people don't understand this shit because it's just easier to be ignorant and lazy

Why I gotta educate grown-ups, che? You have a computer and internet access, same as me.

Honestly, people won't change unless they think it's their idea. Most of the time, no one wants to hear about what I eat or why I eat it. And if they say they do, it's often so they can get a jumping off point to talk about their own diet and why they think I'm wrong or being judgemental.

So yeah, I **** around sometimes (which then somehow makes ALL VEGANS look bad).

But if you actually want to know how to get full on a plant-based diet and how to do it fairly cheaply, hit me up in a PM or something.

I know an easy way to switch to a full plant-based diet; become another species. Humans are omnivores. In order to eat only plants, you have to become an elephant, or any other herbivore.

More power to anyone that is on a vegan diet. I just personally could not do it, I'm much too fussy, and I like sausages too much.
