    But it does help. I do eat meat occasionally but I am aware that lowering the demand of meat will lower the forced reproduction and torture into murder of cattle. It’s the free market y’all love to preach, voting with your wallet.

        I assumed that most meat lovers were American and generalised, sorry.

        If 30% of the population stops eating meat, keeping the same production would be unprofitable. You do understand that each vote counts, right? As the eating habits of society shifts, so does the production industry.

        I know that my vote individually. Means nothing, but statistically there are several people that think similar to me, and of I decide to reduce consumption they will too, which in turn influences production. It would be more effective to be an activist but I don’t care enough.
