    I will take your notes. Can we simply reduce the meat intake coverall instead of eliminating it? I think a balance or moderation is good. We are naturally omnivores after all.

      Yes.

      There’s assorted waste byproducts that aren’t good eats but can be fed to animals - for example, spent brewery grain or sugar beet pulp. Some number of chickens and pigs can be raised sustainably. Not very many,
      but some.

      Some number of deer can be hunted sustainably. Likewise with wild boar.

      100 people doing meatless Monday is the same as 14 people going vegan. And 100 flexitarians who eat meat on average one day a week are worth 85 people going vegan. Any amount of reducing meat intake is better than nothing.

        Holy hell, people consume that much meat? I feel like I don’t really eat meat often. I do love bird, but I’m pretty sure I have meatless Monday most Mondays haha.
