    Take away meat and I’m sorry, but my list of reasons to live will dwindle.

    Seems you haven’t had a good veggie dish yet. I totally get how enjoyable food is central for a happy life, but you don’t enjoy it because it was killed instead of harvested. I’m pretty sure you have a few veggie foods you enjoy, maybe without realizing they don’t contain meat.

    And besides, I’d argue not having kids is an even lower hanging fruit by your reasoning. That even saves money. A lot of money.

    As said in a nearby comment: Only if you didn’t want to have kids anyways. In which case it should not be counted as a saving.

    If you want to have kids but don’t because of climate, that’s probably tougher to stomach than a slight composition change on your plate.

      Or maybe I have different tastes than you.

      I really hate that attitude that because it isn’t much of a sacrifice for you, it isn’t for anyone else. People are different.

      Heck, even if I found your one magical dish, I’m not going to eat it for the rest of my life. Even with meat, I choose variety.

      Oh, so personal preference suddenly matters? Seems you haven’t found the right hobby yet. I totally get how kids are central for a happy life, but you don’t enjoy them because they are your kids instead of pets. I’m pretty sure you have a few activities you enjoy, maybe without realizing they don’t contain kids.

      See how you sound?

      How about this, you don’t eat meat, I’ll not have kids? We’ll see in 100 years who had a more meaningful impact on climate change.
