Meat-loving Australia has no appetite for vegetarian diet to help planet, study finds (www.abc.net.au)

A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.

Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.

Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people's reluctance to reduce meat consumption.

Well it's not a religion. Eat meat if you don't find anything else on the menu. Avoid it when cooking yourself. But it's not about that, people are addicted to meat and don't want to reduce their consumption.

We’re not “addicted to eating meat”, we just enjoy eating meat. It’s good for us and it tastes good and it’s easy to get.

Yes, meat is good for you. It's full of nutrients that are good for you. It's the best source of many vital things. We have teeth made for eating meat. That's not a coincidence.

I killed this thread derail: it is not contributing to the discussion and has devolved into name-calling.

If you are saying my actions are comparable to Reddit, there are differences:

I am transparent about it and my reasoning for it. It's not some faceless, anonymous person censoring discussion.
You can go to aussie.zone and click on the modlog. You can see the original messages if you really want. Again, transparent.

So it's not really like Reddit at all.

Yeah I disagree with any Reddit comparison here. This is good moderation. I say this as one of the posters that has comments deleted. If this was like Reddit whoever the mod disagreed with would be permanently banned.
