Although I don’t doubt that a dramatic reorganization of the Western diet is necessary; due to the twin evils of mass industrial agriculture, such as pollution and rampant abuse of animals. I do have contention with the people who preach to ordinary folks how they need to make enormous changes in their personal lives (changes that are often costly), yet downplay or turn a blind eye to the real cause of global pollution - the super rich and multinational corporations that exploit the environment with no regard for the consequences, all for the sake of profit. It’s the global 1% that contribute overwhelmingly to global pollution; the world’s poorest 50% barest make a tiny dent.
I think you might want to define your terms more narrowly, as everyone who posts on the Atlas Forum is a member of the global 1%.
You’re right that I should’ve defined the parameters of the globe’s super rich far more narrowly. However, not all people on Atlas are part of the global top 1%; I, along with some others, I’m sure, don’t make more than
$32,400 yearly.
