    If eating no meat at all is too hard, from a climate perspective eating no beef will have the biggest impact. Eating no ruminants to be specific, but hardly anyone is eating bison/sheep/goat on the regular.

      I went like 90% vegetarian and switched to the meat substitutes. If I can do it, anyone can. I’ve always had a meat-a-saurus diet until 2-3 years ago.

        I’ve only met one person who couldn’t go veg, because they had allergies to everything: soy, legumes, nuts.

        There’s been a lot of obsession with protein in popular culture when in reality unless you’re a bodybuilder you don’t need a ton and a veg diet will suffice. And there are tons of vegan athletes.

        The point I was making is that there is one step even the laziest can take to have an impact: just stop eating beef. Going full veg is better of course.

      I eat bison instead of beef, that way I’m a big part of a smaller problem rather than the other way around.
