I’ve read in an Article that meat production causes a lot of co² emission. Now I was wondering if we stopped eating meat completely, would that be sufficient to get under the threshhold of emissions what the planet can process? What is that threshold? Where are we now? How much does meat add to this?

    If people want rabbit sandwiches, they would be sold.

    I don’t believe that. The market is only good at meeting needs that make a certain amount of profit. Automation and tooling have forced us into a box that prevents interesting alternatives. Also, we’ve been programmed to be against some of those alternatives.

    You don’t need to wait for trust busting or regulation to consume less meat.

    I’m already vegetarian, so I agree. But again, we’re talking about me buying things that are available. There are alternatives to meat, of course. Eating beef is completely unconcible. But a reasonable society would be investing heavily in lab grown beef to protect the environment. We aren’t. The profit isn’t there.
