Is it 100% optional? Are there no dietary conditions that require eating meat? Even if it is optional, I only said that expecting everyone to change is unrealistic, not that it’s impossible.
How much do you expect people to sacrifice? If you give up eating meat can you fly to go on vacation? Or are people expected to give up everything in the name of the climate while billionaires jet around and corporations expell endless emissions?
Also, your comparison to mercenaries is bad. If military operations are required for survival (like eating) then why would the nation feel guilty? If the mercenaries say “yes we will only defend that military base and we will not kill everyone in the nearby school” and then they go and kill everyone in the school, why wouldn’t they be blamed for not following their orders?
I’m sure it does nothing, but every time DPD/other fucks up a delivery by failing to even ring the bell and says “we missed you”, I call up their customer service and waste their time complaining about the small amount of time allowed per package delivery.
I ask for drivers to be allowed more time. It’s not entirely their fault (but some seemingly have no situational awareness).
