Ignoring Change

The elephant in the room is animal agriculture and we're all ignoring it. I want to do something about it because it's absolutely HUGE. However what is interesting about it is karma. If you think about it, our demise will be vindication for the atrocities we're all committing in the name of food. Sustainability in the livestock industry is all about growing profits. Politics is such is that it doesn't seem to matter that in a very short period of time it will not matter how much profit is generated for whatever reason because dead water, land and air will put a stop to that. The trillionaires who have the power to make a difference have chosen traditional constraint over cultural enhancement. Globalisation will not replenish resources because continual economic advancement equates to even more ecological extinction. Their belief that there is another globe of earth beyond the ice sheets of Antarctica, well founded or not, isn't going to save our home. Only we can do that and the only way to do that is to influence supply and demand. In a capitalistic world, supply and demand represents the socialism of trade practice. The more we consumers buy of a particular product, the more it is produced and along with the theoretical economic law of supply and demand, when supply increases the price will tend to drop and where demand increases the price will tend to increase. But and it's a Big BUTT, this theory does not apply to the meat industry. Demand for that pound of flesh is increasing and supply cost seems to be leveled or decreasing while the real cost of diminishing returns remains hidden. That cost is our home. Consumers are paying for the taste of animal flesh with our water, our oxygen and our land. In short we are eating Earth quicker than our culture is able to change to change it. And while the idea of this is nothing new, the reality of it is earth shattering. The globalisation of western meat eating tastes isn't going to cut it either, particularly when globalisation contains control measures like ID stamping that are now being implemented for when the dung truly does hit the fan. Philanthropists know that culturalism is about what people can't change as opposed to what they can, after indoctrination that we've all been through as children. Yet what we have been raised to believe about eating others is about to come back and venomously bite us in the proverbial jugular. I know it's hard to believe or care about for that matter, especially when in the third age of your life, that the destruction of your world is the result of a bad meat eating problem. But rather than simply ignore or worry, I think what can I do to help myself, my family and others to change direction and I do admit to shaking my head from side to side often. Is it the responsibility of governments to tell us what we can or can't eat because of ecological and environmental destruction? Not that I think they will while the shit that is hitting the fan is able to be kept hidden along with the real flow of money. Should governments force us to change as opposed to continuing the non censoring of scientific research about our impending doom? Are the trilionaires right, we are not worth caring about because we would not thank them for it, instead wanting the industrial 'privileges' they have, and we have Buckley's chance of ever getting. Modern animal agriculture is the biggest karmic volcano we've got coming to us and it's like we're trapped in an arena with a dung filled crater about to implode us all down its thunder-box. Just sayin'
