The real problem is that the rich only give the poor so many options to choose from.
So the rich do not give you the option to reduce the animal products in your diet? IMHO there are many good reasons to blame rich people, big oil etc., but that doesn’t mean that everyone individually is released from any kind of responsibility. Vegan diets are available, affordable and healthy. If you’re unwilling to question your habits and adapt your lifestyle for the better, that’s your choice. Don’t put the blame on others.
Only thing you said that’s close to correct. Don’t be pretentious.
Humans are omnivores. Eating meat is okay. If you wanna discuss the ethics of end-user life choices under late-stge capitalism in a food desert, that’s fine, but don’t sugar coat your morals and shove them down my throat. Just don’t eat meat for yourself, and be the change you want to see in the world. If you’re doing it so you can tell others what to do, or that they’re not as good as you because they don’t do what you do, then you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
I don’t have to blame big oil, I can blame the rich people exploring capitalism. They’re the reason all the otherwise affordable stuff is expensive. Single-mom Susie and hunter Dave feeding their family are not the problem. Capitalism is the problem, and the rich people want to keep getting richer.
They’re blaming the poor with a baited line, and you swallowed.
If billions of people on the planet want to eat animal products, this inevitably causes significant harm to the nature, the animals and ourselves (global warming, pandemics etc.). Just because our species lived off meat in the past (with way less individuals) that doesn’t mean we can and should continue like this.
The consumption of animal products isn’t the problem.
It is the exploitation of the production for profits, which is not a choice of the consumer. This is what causes the problems in nature: increases in greenhouse gasses like methane and the inability of our planet to re-uptake carbon through the reckless destruction of carbon locking plant life environments like oceans and forests, etc all.
You can point fingers at people who want to eat meat all you want but personal responsibility is incapable of balancing out the atrocities that are rewarded thru capitalism. This is intentional, and it is being perpetuated by the ones being rewarded for it. The rich.
If you think for one minute that not eating animal products is going to resolve these issues, then you’re deluding yourself.
There is nothing wrong with not eating animal products, if you can afford to live like that. But be honest with yourself about the realities that others experience; both those who can’t afford to or just don’t want to live like that, and the ones exploiting the world’s resources for personal gain. There is a huge difference in culpability between these groups.

Greenhouse gases aren’t created through exploitation, but by the pure existence of the animals. Even if we hypothetically held all animals under perfect conditions (which is impossible anyhow due to lack of land and ressources), it doesn’t significantly reduce the greenhouse gases. If you want to lower the emmissions, people must lower and ideally stop the consumption.

I don’t fingerpoint at omnivores. I fingerpoint at people who claim that people consuming animal products is only the fault of some third party rich people. We know that veganism helps the planet in many aspects. If you decide to live different that’s OK, but it’s your choice.
if you can afford to live like that.
Unless you’re a Mongolian shepard in an area where soil and weather allow nothing but grass and goats or you live off food donations only, that’s not true. For people who buy their food in supermarkets, veganism isn’t more expensive than an omnivore diet. If you live off basic ingredients rather than comfort food, it’s usually rather cheaper.

NEVER Trust the rich when they tell you that your decisions are causing the problems.
The real problem is that the rich only give the poor so many options to choose from. Then they tell the poor to blame other poors for choosing wrong.
NEVER TRUST CELEBRITIES OR THEIR PROPAGANDA

Absolutely. But that practical reality doesn’t substantiate the insufferable moral superiority vegans are addicted to.
Practical veganism doesn’t finger wag because practical veganism understands how unproductive that is.
The only serious vegans are the ones who advocate for lab cultured proteins. But those are few and far between.
