Btw, if you want to keep your habits, but for some reason feel guilty about your resource consumption, you could just pay two other people to go vegan (or four other people to cut back their meat consumption by half), and you would achieve twice as much as by changing your own diet.

In terms of overall utilitarian impact, I mean. Not in terms of some moral systems.

Is there an app for that?

I think people around here would charge too much to go vegan.

It might be cheaper use people on the West Coast.

It seems like you envision paying Americans to eat less meat?

In the grand scheme of things, Americans are very expensive people. For example, Argentinians both eat a lot of meat, and are currently in dire need for some hard currency.

I don't know if there's an app for this. However, you could do the next best thing and find a charity that works on promoting eating-less-meat in Argentina.

(Argentina is just an example, I have no clue whether it's the best value for money for this very specific. I'm just fairly sure that they are better value for money than spending money in the US.)

I was joking as you brought it up. I don't believe anyone needs to eat less meat.
