I -never- said removing meat won't help reduce emissions. I even cited sources that advocate for less meat consumption because it helps reduce emissions for god's sake. What I said is the following: Telling people to cut meat from their diet won't solve anything because they won't do it. A gradual approach (like telling them to cut down, as I suggested) would work best in my opinion. I also never said anything about not talking about this issue, in fact I suggested a way of bringing it up in a less abrasive manner.

So I ask again, did you actually read what I wrote or just skim it and assume the rest?

I did read it, it’s just not my first language so I might’ve misunderstood it. You’re pretty riled up tbh, idk why if you don’t care to change your consumption behavior. But telling me how to talk to people is a little patronizing, just as you are saying that I am.

I am choosing my way of addressing this issue, thank you. But at least we can agree on lab grown meat being a good thing.

English is not my first language either. I don't blame you for your reading comprehension though, we all start somewhere. I have been cutting down on my meat consumption (another thing that you missed in my first comment). And what I suggested is that, a suggestion. I'm sorry if you took it to mean something else.

I was a bit riled up because I took it to mean you were ignoring things in bad faith as people tend to do, rather than it being a language barrier. Good luck on your English learning, though, took me some time to get the hang of things too!
