I've been a vegan for 17 years and I can tell you one thing Americans don't give a shit. They well not eat less meat. They don't give a fuck that they are killing the planet and they sure as fuck don't want you to tell them that. I've traveled over seas quite a bit and I see people from other countries seem genuinely interested in veganism but Americans don't give a fuck and give even less of a fuck when you tell them you're a vegan.
Where in America have you gone?
There are exceptions in liberal cities, but data shows that Americans consume a LOT more meat on average than most other countries.
And interestingly, as other countries advance, so to does meat consumption. I'm not shifting blame, I'm saying it's a feature of this type of culture. We need to work on the next culture beyond this.
