In France, an ecological politician tried to talk about it recently, now she is receiving hundred of tweets of people taking pictures with huge pieces of meat, very proud of their own stupidity (including other politicians). I observe some changes around me though, in countries (home and host countries) where meat is still very important in the common diet, but far from being large and fast enough unfortunately…
It’s unfortunately become an identity thing, which is really sad because it means its one of those things that is just entrenched and nearly unreachable intellectually. That’s why people respond with dumb stuff like them eating an entire ham or whatever. In the US they’ve successfully tied the idea of eating meat to conservative concepts about masculinity, which is a pretty toxic combo.
