      Assuming you live in North America, travel is highly inefficient with personal cars and high airplane usage.

      Meat consumption on the other hand is a lifestyle choice. Personally, if be willing to reduce mine if we stopped subsidizing the industry and therefore stopped incentivizing such high consumption.

        Why are you waiting until the meat industry is no longer subsidised to reduce your meat consumption?

          I’m on a budget. I eat less meat than the average North American, but I still need protein and meat is a lot less expensive than many of the alternatives, partially because we subsidize the meat industry so much.
