    If they stopped giving free money to corporations, people wouldn’t eat nearly so much meat. A large chunk of people would go vegan by economic necessity because the price of animal products would jump so high. And corporations tend not to care about stopping climate change.

        I’m not qualified to say whether bugs are good for you (although muix send to have found evidence that they are). But I didn’t mention bugs. They’re different to vegetables and other plant-based products.

        In any event, whether bugs share the nutrition of meat, it’s a simple equation of eating a different balance of food or dying from an extreme weather event. It’s not even close.

        Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying this is entirely down to personal choice or that solely amending diets will fix the problem. I’m not even saying that people need to cut out animal produce entirely. I’m saying that radical changes in the structure of human society are crucial if we want a human society to exist in any semblance of peace and prosperity. Sustainable food is a key component of that shift.
