  • People on lemmy will really be like 'you believe in individual action? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing an oil rig' and then not firebomb an oil rig.

  • coffee and chocolate can also be had fairtrade, which helps ease the conscience

    pro tip: lidl (in sweden at least) sells remarkably cheap fairtrade chocolate

  • there are remarkably acceptable vegan cheeses these days, i've tried one from i think it was Valio or Oddlygood (which might be the same fucking company anyways iirc) and it's just slightly weird starchy cheese that melts in a strange way.

  • to some degree maybe, but even a doubling for most of these things still puts them way way way below the emissions of beef.

    but things like beans are trivial to grow on a small local scale, if you can get your food from local farmers that aren't using 500 tractors and tons of artificial fertilizer then it's hard to even theoretically do better.

  • literally the only (pure) meat i feel comfortable buying anymore is ground pork, even chicken is hilariously expensive at this point..

  • we need to feed them corn and soybeans because people want lots and lots of meat, and that's the best way to get lots and lots of meat.

    that's.. kinda why people advocate for eating less meat, so that there won't be such a powerful incentive to turbomaximize meat yields to meet the huge demand..

  • this is why i think chicken is the best meat, no other animal is so easy and normal to literally raise in your backyard, plus they can get a decent amount of their food from bugs and foodscraps

    it's entirely feasible for basically everyone with a yard to own chickens and call the butcher when they get too old to lay eggs (or just near death), and this would make eggs basically free and meat very cheap, plus massive quantities of free fertilizer for farmers!
