Is this the vegan utopia we’ve been dreading? You don’t win friends with salad

    Misleading headline right? if one person stopped eating meat it would clearly not be like taking 8 million cars off the road, if everyone on earth stopped eating meat then 8 million cars would be a drop in the ocean. So… the headline means what even you want it to mean.

      Exactly. Getting billions of people to stop eating meat is surely going to be harder than getting 8 million cars off the road.

        They’re not saying people should stop eating meat entirely, they’re saying people should eat less i.e. swapping a burger with a bean casarole once a week or something. This is not a binary all-or-nothing situation. Every little helps, as they say.

        Article is just focused on the UK. So is more like getting 40million people to reduce their meat consumption (not stop) vs getting 8million UK cars off the road.
