    While I get your point, it’s those same people who can actually make the change needed. They can stop with their super yachts and support yachts and helicopters and private planes and million dollar cars as disposable playthings and mega mansions they spend a month in a year. They can make the companies they control become greener. You or I could only do so much.

      Voting with your wallet totally works though.

      The biggest meat-replacement producer in Germany right now is a company that until 20 years ago only produced meat products. I think it was 2 years ago that they made more profit with their replacements and are projected to stop producing meat altogether in the next 2 decades because of how many people bought their replacements and how they don’t need the meat anymore to survive

        It only works when the alternatives are at a similar price. I can’t vote with my wallet when I can’t afford the alternatives.

        Quick quiz: which is cheaper? 1000 calories from Ramen noodles, or 1000 calories from fresh leafy greens, fresh fruits, and whole grains and legumes?

          Ramen noodles aren’t the problem

          There are a lot of vegetarian ramen noodles out there…
