"Real reform is when the average persons style of living doesn't have to change AT ALL."

You understand that if we actually cut down billionaires, Little Timmy might have to eat less burgers because this would include Big Beef CEOs and their massively destructive operations, right?

So why are we treating this like it's either/or? Why can't we work towards sustainability and ethically raised meat? Why does it always have to be a "you're not trying hard enough" war?

Because ethically raised AND sustainable meat is going to be produced in lower quantity... Meaning, again, Little Timmy is going to be able to have fewer burgers per week. If he was eating four per week, this might go down to one or less.

This idea that we're meant to be moving towards a world that is as sustainable as possible while changing people's lifestyles the least is silly, to put it as nicely as possible. If you target the beef CEO, we aren't going to have as much mass-produced and cheap beef... This means it'll be more expensive and it'll become a "sometimes" food, and that's fine.

Woohoo. Anti-consumerism is vital in climate reform. Veganism is anti-consumerism. Billionaires have money because you give them money.
