This isn't whataboutism. Whayaboutism is talking about some other problem.. Going vegan is a solution to the problem at hand. The easiest solution

Going vegan is a solution to the problem at hand.

did you try that?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes... For 8 years successfully. My balls didn't fall, my health is great, and so is my social life. Nothing changed.

but it didn't stop cows from burping.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well 1 billion of vegetarians certainly did help create less cows.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I believe there are more cows now than ever before

Having everyone not be vegan is a "problem" So is Emission from high meat usage/husbandry of cows, sheep and goats. I don't know a better word than whataboutism to describe that.
