La Trobe University research shows Australians would prefer to embrace many other green options to help the environment before giving up meat and becoming vegetarians.

  • A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.

  • Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.

  • Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people’s reluctance to reduce meat consumption.

    Nothing short of totally abolishing the capitalist mode of production can be taken remotely seriously.

        i wonder how quickly capitalism would fall if every liberal who pretended to be against it but tut-tutted the idea of it being overthrown would just shut the fuck up

          Whose pretending to be against it? I’m for tighly regulated capitalism, coupled with some public ownership of natural monopolies.

              It must be nice and simple to see the whole world in black and white terms. You should definitely try getting to grips with nuance though. It makes things annoyingly complicated and messy, but is ultimately rewarding.

                  So you are looking at a largely capitalist economy, but with a few natural monopolies - water supply, being one example - being in public ownership.

                  As an example, the UK is generally considered a capitalist economy, notwithstanding the fact that its largest employer- the NHS - is publicly owned and operated.
