        It is the largest positive impact a single person can have on the environment. Kurzgesagt video with the analysis.

        As a vegetarian for decades, it’s also cheaper, often healthier, and isn’t difficult at all once you find some new recipes you like. You also don’t need to switch all at once. Ease into it by cooking one vegetarian meal a week and then increase it as you find ones you like.

          Infinitely incorrect. Not reproducing is the greatest lack of a negative impact a single person can have on the environment (which is all going vegan can do, not eating meat will never have greater than a zero net impact on emissions).

          I’m not watching your YouTube video. if you can’t articulate a compelling reason, just say so.

          I find it hard to believe that it is the biggest impact a single person can have. can you enumerate the other strategies it is weighed against?

          you also aren’t supporting your claims about affordability, health, nor ease with anything but anecdotal evidence.

            What absolutely trash reasoning. “Please type up a compelling reason just for me, I don’t want to watch a well researched and produced discussion on the topic.” It’s bordering on sealioning.

        We need to greatly reduce meat consumption in order to make our planet sustainable for human life. You can start at your own pace, but it’s easier than ever with all of the meat alternatives these days.
