I understand not everyone can shift their diet, but I am curious, if you know it is unsustainable, why do you partake in the industry? Or is your food acquired more sustainably? I'm not trying to lay any sort of judgement or whatever, I am genuinely curious. A lot of people I know that eat meat that are aware of the issues with the industry will at least avoid eating meat at times.
I guess it's the same way the US founding father's can write about all men being created equal while still owning slaves themselves.
I've come to the realization that eating meat is wrong, but since I was born into a world where a mostly meat diet is 'normal' shifting away from it is difficult.
It's like trying to quit smoking, an easy decision to make but hard to follow through.
You don't need to quit, cutting down is fine. Even just trying a replacement (bean chilli instead of beef) one time is great too. If you like it you can replace more often, if not try something else.
