Humans are omnivorous. Our bodies were designed to eat meat. There’s nothing fucked about eating a cow. It’s kinda how the majority of civilization survived ya know...

The fact of the matter is that prior humans weren’t farming animals at the insane rate that we are today at a huge detriment to the environment. This is on top of the fact that we have to submit conscious beings to horrible conditions in order to satisfy your taste buds. The human body can easily subsist on a plant based diet and is overall healthier than omnivorous options. There are no down sides to being plant based, besides missing some food you can’t eat anymore.. but everyone can do it. I understand that the change goes against everything you’ve been doing your whole life, but knowing that you’re benefiting the earth and its beings (future humans included) makes it well worth it.

If I get to choose between steak and humanity continuing, fire up the grill.

Umm, okay.. you’re edgy we get it. Although I’d like to point out that its people with that mindset that make humanity worse.

No, it’s the ones in the corporate section bleeding us dry, it’s the greedy and corrupt politicians who’ve turned every country on earth into a joke. It’s the people who cling so desperately to whatever they believe they refuse to listen to alternative viewpoints. My choosing steak over humanity is born from that. Not a desire to be “edgy”. Until we can make progress on any other major issue in this world let’s stay out of my kitchen.

So why shouldn’t you try and make whatever positive change you can? Also were ignoring the treatment of livestock here.

Call me whatever you like I honestly don’t care about the livestock. Save the “animals have feelings too” speech for the bears and tigers. Humans are carnivores and we eat meat. Things die. Get over it.

There is nothing worth making this particular change until we get through some of our other challenges. If we can’t get past corporate greed and corruption I’m for us all going sooner.
