I just read this quote from a guy in the U.K. environmental agency...
"Whilst potential benefit of a vegan diet in terms of climate impact could be very significant, encouraging the public to take a lifestyle decision as substantial as becoming vegan would be a request few are likely to take up...You will be interested to hear that Defra is working on a set of key environmental behavior changes to mitigate climate change. Consumption of animal protein has been highlighted within that work...As a result, the issue may start to figure in climate change communications in the future. It will be a case of introducing this gently as there is a risk of alienating the public majority."
What are your thoughts? If you were presented with proof that not eating meat , dairy, or eggs could drastically help the environment AND that you could live healthily on a vegan diet, would you stop eating animal products?
