It is obvious that I disagree, not only because you yourself disagree with you:

I could never be a vegetarian ... then keep on living, eating other things.

Where I presume other things would simply be plants. So you could but a strong government has to force you.

The last government in the Netherlands wanted to force the animal industry to reduce the nitrate strain on the earth and groundwater. A new conservative "farmers" party was formed which was elected then. They have a massive industrial animal complex which powered this party that ran on fear and bullshit.

There are things that need change, but the most important part is to change what we have power over, our self. Every government in the world has to face the problem of animal industry, just like coal and fossile fuels. China already has plant based protein in their latest five-year agricultural plan, but they don't have to fear the voters as much. So if you live in a democracy and you value it you have to live the change you want to see. It takes money from the industry, it supports alternatives and it shows the government that they will not be replaced by industry powered fearmongers if they propose changing the system.

• Eating meat and dairy supports the industry
• A plant based diet is the passive way of not supporting it
• Fighting against the industry is the active way

You position is not neutral, at the moment you support what is "uncovered" in the article, you might consider changing that 💚
