European diet can be very much centered around meat too unfortunately, farmers also have a lot of power here. Guess it is still better than the US, but we are part of the problem too.

I agree that just stopping subsidies and let everything in the hands of market forces won’t do. We cannot juste expect things to work better in the current system, it would need many other forces and institutions to develop another type of agriculture and scale down meat production and consumption and make other products more affordable for everyone, it cannot come only from making meat a luxury good.

In France, an ecological politician tried to talk about it recently, now she is receiving hundred of tweets of people taking pictures with huge pieces of meat, very proud of their own stupidity (including other politicians). I observe some changes around me though, in countries (home and host countries) where meat is still very important in the common diet, but far from being large and fast enough unfortunately…

Intensive agriculture and our economic system at large is going to screw us all everywhere: it causes climate change, and it also prevents (not rich) people to adapt to it. So fucked up.

Just doing strange stuff for me right now, telling me I reached my number of free articles and loading entirely again 5 seconds later 😅 anyway someone shared the article in another comment if needed :-)

I have access, weird 🤔
