There is no more time left for this kind of pragmatism. It doesn’t matter it people disagree, the truth is supporting meat consumption is supporting industries that are actively killing us and the planet.
I sure hope you bike (or drive a conflict-free electric car, I guess?) and are powered by your own solar panels if you feel this way.

We need to both (a) reduce emissions from transport, and (b) reduce emissions from agriculture.
The parent poster was implying (presumably, because my original post was saying “we should do both” in response to a post that said “(a) is irrelevant, only (b) matters”) that anyone not doing (b) was killing the planet, and I’m pointing out here that if that’s true, anyone not doing (a) is also killing the planet.
We need both! It’s not optional! Half these conversations are “ok sure but X is really all that matters!” — and that is completely false.
We need to reduce or eliminate emissions from all sources, full stop.
I agree however on biking (or public transport). I will always try to live max 15-20km away from work, such that I always can use a bike or a velomobile.
Please don't try to make ad hominem arguments, thanks.
And how do you come to this conclusion?
