I’m from a country with a large meat and dairy industry and right now they are SHITTING THEIR PANTS and pulling tricks worthy of the tobacco industry to try and counter the tide. But it’s all for naught because being at least part time vegetarian is main stream now.
And that’s the key here. The aim is to break the political power of the meat and dairy industry, curtail their insane subsidies and stop them from destroying the planet on the taxpayer’s dime.
For that purpose, it’s important to have broad support and make an economic impact. For the revenue side 100.000 “meatless Monday” libs or 7.000 vegans make about the same impact (assuming 1 to 1 meat/dairy split), but you need to find a way to organize the libs.
Yes. It’s called ‘organizing’.
And it works.
