    Eating meat although they’re fully aware, that we have to shift completely away of that (GHG emissions, land-use), and then blame the government that they need to regulate this more.

    Yes more government regulations would be great, but it’s one of the few individual things that have effect, if everyone would think similar. And a vegan or mostly vegan diet is not really worse in taste and likely more healthy as well… Eating meat is not sustainable (nor morally justifieable), it should be a thing of the past…

      Been vegetarian now for about 4 years, haven’t regretted it yet. I thought I would miss meat more, but I really don’t.

      I totally have experienced the random anger and judgment from other people. They hear I am vegetarian and all of a sudden they start either attacking vegetarianism/veganism, or they start trying to defend meat-eating.

      On the positive, I’ve never been healthier, and there are more and more restaurants that offer veg/vegan food, or at least options to make it meatless. And I have met quite a few young people that are going veg/vegan, or at least are flex/pescatarian.
