I wish more people would get it in their heads that you don’t need to give up meat and go completely vegan to have an impact. Even if everyone just cut their red meat intake in half, it would go such a long way towards fixing the environment. But too many people see it as an all-or-nothing situation.
I’m a flexitarian myself and I wish more people would just do that, just realise that they’re eating too much meat for their health anyway and cut it down to 2 or 3 times a week.
The problem is that I literally do not known what to eat.
I live in a 3rd would country, so my grocery selection is a bit limited compared to what it was when I lived in the states.
I can easily get meat and core vegetables, but I don’t think I can just eat broccoli all week. Especially since a stick of broccoli is not expensive or the same price as meat.
I don’t live in a third world country but I live in the former DDR and vegan food is rare as hen’s teeth. I’m even having trouble finding beans. Best place to go is Vietnamese shops, they’re way more into veg.
Ultimately with humans it’s really time consuming to enact behavioural change. The rate of human behaviour change is slower than the rate of destruction of the planet (also individual human change is going to do diddly squat when McDonald’s keeps McDonald’sing and the Kardashians keep travelling in their private jets)

Beans! Including chick peas.

I love chick peas! Sadly, for health reasons my wife can’t have them 😂😂

How about this. You don’t have to give up allll torturing, raping killing animals, just reduce it.
