    What’s the dream? I fucking hate the average American… Even those that deem themselves a good one.

    I realize there are lots of systemic things involved - usually this gets turned around on consumers as if all they need to do is properly separate their recycling and in their consumption, choose companies that are perfomatively greenwashing things.

    But one thing individuals could do that would absolutely make a huge difference is to vastly curtail their intake of meat and dairy. In discussions like this, it always seems like people walk on eggshells around food, or not even discuss food at all, but it’s the elephant in the room…

    In fact, we have several states running the exact opposite direction of a solution when they ban cultured meat…

      In media maybe, but on the ground amongst friends I’ve noticed a massive move away from meat. We’ve all, without even talking about it, started sharing more vegetarian and vegan recipes. It’s definitely spreading grassroots style.

      I think it comes down to the massive divide in Americans as always. Those who care are taking actions, while the conservatives eat three steaks and a couple pounds of bacon as always.
