I echo this- went vegan last year. It’s not as scary as you think. There are lots of sources of good vegetable protein (tofu, peas, beans) and you can have one of those impossible burgers if you’re craving meat on a particular day.

or if you're not up for going cold turkey, just drastically reduce your intake. If you eat meat only once a week rather than every day, this already reduces your footprint massively.

This isn't realistic advice for most people eating meat every day. It's better to suggest trying to not eat meat for a single day per week as a start.

Thanks for making the effort.

Why folks are down voting your post, especially here on HN - a group apparently made up of rational and logical thinking folks - beats me.

Feeding the world with animal meat is not sustainable, it requires more energy and resources.

I guess it's called meat addiction for a reason.

I think that for some people they feel like they are being attacked if someone suggests a change in behavior. It’s not my intention to attack anyone though, just to give words of encouragement. I’m just like everyone else, making it up as I go along.
