I dislike comments which are like, it’s so easy.. just do this! (Not to pick on you specifically good Lemmy-er). I respect you want to help in some fashion.

Often it was that straightforward to ‘fix’, would we be in the mess we are in? ‘Quick/easy fixes’ got us into this mess.

I believe you can’t ’so easily’ change people’s minds and hearts and opinions overnight and have suddenly everyone be hyper conscious of meat eating or whatever problem is in the crosshairs. Change takes time. Change takes courage. Change takes commitments.

Yeah, we can't legally call it soy milk so it's now soy drink on the package. And the jury is still out if a veggie burgers may be called a burger. The industry is strong.
