&gt; <i>I&#x27;m not trying to pick on you</i><p>It&#x27;s fine. The catalyst for good discussion isn&#x27;t typically everyone agreeing and getting along.<p>Dairy products assist intake of the full spectrum of nutrients. It&#x27;s not just about a &quot;sip of milk&quot; or what I like on my cereal.<p>A million people caring a &quot;minimal amount&quot; is better than a million people not caring at all.<p>Meat - an industry at the very top of the environmental impact list. I call for the abolishment of live export and improvements to other factors of the industry such as slaughterhouse standards. I eat meat infrequently and place importance on where it comes from.<p>To suggest that it&#x27;s the &quot;height of irrationality&quot; that I eat any meat at all, is to claim that by buying meat I somehow support the entire industry with all its flaws and variables. But I can eat meat and actively vote and push against the standards I disagree with within the industry.<p>Everything we do has some issue, environmental or otherwise up the chain.

If millions do that, industry change can happen.
