Inside the Republican effort to force millions of farm animals back into cages

I'm with you. I'm healthier and feel good about reducing my impact on the world. Besides: I just got bored with meat. There's a treasure hunt feeling about searching out interesting vegan groceries, recipes and restaurants.

And why not?

In the US it is normal and expected to eat meat and animal products 3-5 times per day with every meal and snack. If popular culture can shift to consuming meat and animal products 3-5 times per week that would be an 80% reduction with minimal sacrifice.

These days it's not the tremendous change it used to be - there are at least a dozen brands of vegan meat replacements for sausages, chicken, roasts, burgers, etc. It's fairly easy to find vegan pastries, cakes, cookies, ice creams, etc. It is not as if people will need to suddenly start eating salad for every meal, if we only eat meat once per day that alone is a massive and achievable change.

Vegans today sacrifice less than ever before, and we have all those who went vegan decades ago (the hard way!) to thank for that.

Humans should go vegan because paying for animals to be killed for your tastebuds is wrong.
