the toll of eating meat on environment is far greater than your concerns over your feelings. choose the lesser evil

Have vegans given up their cars yet? Veganism is a nice gesture, but really vegans need to step it up and ditch the cars if they care about the Earth.

They're doing a lot better than the people who eat meat and have cars.

Eating meat is better for the environment in the long run.
If human population drops to zero due to climate change (which meat consumption contributes to), then the environment will be left alone and do great on its own! It wont even take more than 1-2 millennia for recovery, which is nothing in geological terms!
Compared to that eating vegan is just a feel-good half-measure.

Hmm. Meat eating is better for the environment because it'll see off humanity faster? Presumably along with driving the least economical car you can find, etc?
I see the point. I don't think it's the answer most of us prefer though.
