Commenters question double standard on EVs versus veganism

A debate has reignited over perceived double standards in climate advocacy: urging people to switch to electric cars is seen as mainstream, while promoting veganism is dismissed as extreme. Supporters argue that plant-based diets address biodiversity loss, deforestation and emissions directly, and that the only real barrier is willingness to change. Critics of the framing see vegan advocacy as socially or practically harder to accept than buying a new car.
Why now: Ongoing climate debates keep comparing the social acceptance of electric vehicles with resistance to dietary change.

Going vegan is one solution and the only barrier to adopting it is a willingness to do so.… · MichaelBishop@mastodon.world · 8
