> Humanity would rather go to war to thin our numbers than give up eating meat
We're using up resources at a pace that outstrips Earth's ability to replenish them. For instance, we're already consuming 1.7 times the Earth's available resources.
Veggie sausages and burgers up to ten times better for environment than meat, study finds
> they're worried about next months rent
Vegan diets are typically the most economical choice, even in first-world countries. The affordability of animal products is primarily a result of significant subsidies, without factoring in the negative externalities.
I don’t think our grandchildren are going to care what we say. They’ll be too busy scavenging the scorched ruins of our cities for the last cans of refrigerant so they can survive another month on our doomed planet.

Don't be silly. Our grandchildren won't need refrigerant to survive a hot Earth; they can just live underground. Caves stay cool year-round. Or they could dig a bunch of silos, 144 levels deep, and live in those, sending outcasts to the "outside" to die in the poisoned air.

If everyone were to adopt a diet similar to the American diet, we would require more than five Earths to sustain it.

> The only viable method is lab grown meat
Achieving the required scale and price point may take decades, potentially leading to the collapse of biodiversity long before that occurs.
> that tastes exactly the same, same texture, and is cheaper
Is our love for the taste really worth destroying the planet?
What will we say to our grandchildren? "Sorry, I couldn't give up those burgers. Now, go play in a desert."
