yeah, we say 'no ethical consumption' not necessarily to wash our hands of the responsibility, but to help ourselves sleep. industrial agriculture at the scale necessary to feed people these days is gonna have consequences, even if that was a 26-story kale farm. i bet the floors are slippery in there. pig processing has a powerful smell, i'd hate to live downwind.
i agree that those politicians trying to point the finger at the consumer are to be ignored. i think of that every time i see leonardo dicaprio whining about environmental stuff then climbing in to his private jet to go back to southern france or wherever he hangs.
i eat less meat than i used to only because i make a deliberate effort to eat more greens for health purposes. those would also go up in price as we squabble with canada. last i checked they hadn't played the 'tariffs on potash' card yet. we'd have to go to the russians to get it otherwise, i think.
i've only ever eaten snails as escargot, and even then that's maybe like five whole times in my life.
