    Raising animals costs a huge amount of money. Who can afford to raise animals that aren’t selling?

      The entire point of my message was that they won’t stop selling, my point was that it’s not realistic to expect a large enough portion of the population to do this for it to matter. It’s just not going to happen no matter what we do

        Oh you’re so god now saying “this will happen or this will never happen” bunch of arrogant rubbish.

        You’re lying because you don’t want it to change you want to keep eating meat while the planet gets destroyed for your selfish desires. As they’re cutting down the Amazon for beef farms.

        Research has shown that meat consumption is going down and the vegan population is rapidly growing so your stance is wrong.

      Good point, but the market is very inefficient system for determining supply.

      And big companies have other methods for dealing with low demand like

      • Lobby the government (and the government will give in)
      • Just targeting rich people. It is known that they contribute to climate change much more than working class people. As long as the rich are free to do whatever they like the planet will continue to rot.

        It would still be way less profitable in the end and would raise questions by the public as to why so much money being wasted on a cruel inefficient system.

          That is what I am saying it will become less profitable after years, we need climate change solutions now.

          And most people are very good at ignoring cruelty.

            The People who want baby steps don’t give a damn about the environment. It’s just business as usual for them.
