When it happens, or rather when the majority make it happen, by sending animal businesses broke, we’ll probably see rapid change; changes that seem so clear because there aren’t any exemptions possible; it won’t be so much a legal change as a fashion change; animal foods will be on the nose; uncool to the 99%ers but stuff available on the black market; plant based foods pushing ‘other stuff’ off the shelves. It could happen this way, in ‘the West’.
The country we live in (if we have some arable land) allows us the choice to be vegetarian, a herbivore. Obviously there are communities in the world where they’re entirely dependent on animal foods for their survival, but over 90% of the world’s population aren’t Inuit, dessert dwellers, highlanders or islanders, where plants grow. We in fertile lands have access to plant foods and can flourish on them (as societies have done, healthily, down through the ages). The relative ‘cleanness’ of plant food over animal food is so evident that why anyone would knowingly poison their body with sub-standard food is a mystery. Or why anyone would choose to live with so much on their conscience, another mystery.
