> You're an asshole if you don't look at alternatives even though they're available to you and you can afford them just because you love your steaks too much TIL I’m an asshole because I love and eat steak even though I can afford plant based alternatives that I have zero desire to eat because of how processed they are.
Glad you realized that, it's the necessary first step towards positive change. /s See, that's a good example of why simply getting angry at the hypocritical richest will lead nowhere, as long as what they do is still socially acceptable at smaller scales.

If I was opting for steak over that with taste and price being equal, sure criticize away.
