Rich and poor are relative categories, so get out of here with your generalizations. Also doesn’t change that regulations through cost only really affects poorer people.
F%&k productivism. We shouldn’t push for lower quality to match inflation, we should keep the same quality and lower the volume. It would be a win-win for people and the environment. Nobody needs to binge tons of meat all year long.
If you need to get re-elected, a drop on purchasing power is not going to do it. And many people definitely feel that their quality of life is strongly tied to their purchasing power. Are you really equally happy if you are not able to afford the same things you were buying last year?
It’s possible if you make an effort to steer away from advertisement and the consumerism ratrace. I’ve downsized several times in my life, with rather positive effects on my quality of life.
I agree, but that is not what’s happening with the latest bout of inflation: everything is getting more expensive, not only meat.
Ideally, cutting meat production increases meat prices while decreasing other vegetarian alternatives prices. I wish that’s what going to happen, but that’s not what I see.
Producing fewer animal products makes it way easier to produce more plant-based products, both because farming subsidies can be reduced massively and because of all the space freed up previously used to produce animal feed.
