it’s a cultural problem, food culture is hard to change, even when you have reasons to change
it’s harder for some than others, but the people who find it easy to become vegan are a small minority
rather than being shocked at the hypocrisy (which is admittedly there and is upsetting), I wonder instead what could be done to win more people over to veganism, or what other kinds of actions would move society towards a better set of conditions … a hyper-individualist lens makes it hard to recognize these issues are on a collective and societal level, and it’s more important that we solve those than whether someone was eating meat at a climate protest
pushing for legislation might be more effective than converting more of the minority of people who would become and stay vegan to do so in a society that is effectively hostile and provides little means to do so. Making it easier to be vegan by default is a hard task, though … it’s basically like waiting for the revolution.
I went to that extinction rebellion protest a few years back. I saw people eating dead animals! WTF!
