U.S. retail sales of plant-based foods grew 11.4% last year

One of the biggest growth categories last year was plant-based eggs

“Companies know that you need to have plant-based as a solution, especially when we’re talking about doing it sustainably and safely,” she said.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that meat production—a decent proxy for consumption—dropped in 2019, and it forecasts a decline again this year.

    Libs literally do nothing, so no point in trying to arguing your veganism to them.

    Completely unrelated and you are under no pressure to explain but: how would I pronounce your pronouns and what are they supposed to represent about your gender? I haven't seen Xey/xem used before.

      np lol :) essentially i just don't feel like she or he fits me, kinda like being forced to use a nickname i hate. Xey/xem is the closest i feel to what represents me, that's basically it. It's a pretty new thing, right now it just makes me feel good to see them next to my name. Here's a little usage guide, though of course you can always just call me by username or say 'comrade' :)

        NO GENDERS, ONLY COMRADES.

        But thanks.

      If you think personal consumptive choices count as something significant, I think you are misled. They are good, but not sufficient, and often do harm by taking the wind out the sails of further action or by creating a neoliberal "personal responsibility" viewpoint that accepts the neoliberal framing of environmental and ethical issues.

      Like, it's not my fault that animal husbandry or meat factories exist so I don't need that guilt. Instead empower me to work towards solutions that can show real change, and likely veganism will be a logical byproduct.
