aka being employed is a worse deal than being an investor, disproportionately.

I don't disagree with any of the technological solutions discussed: I think vertical farming seems neat, and hopefully promising, and I believe local farming with special care given to rotating crops and maintaining soil health is also important.

Given that I personally eat eggs and honey on a semi-regular basis, and am not fully vegan like my wife, I also agree with the idea of buying local eggs. But the article's actual contents do very little to support the title, since everyone knows no one thing is going to save the planet.

TL;DR Not just one change is going to magically save the planet, but let me take this technicality as a chance to call out veganism for more clicks.

One does Southern Kitchen/Soul Food type stuff, and the other is turkish/middle-eastern cuisine.

Not trying to detract from any points about Indian and other Asian cuisines being phenomenal for veggie dishes, just that it's not a rule that western cuisine does not lend itself well to vegetarian ingredients, but more that it's just not as developed here.

It was meant to be one example, we cook bean and lentil dishes a hefty majority of the time and usually those I can set and forget in an instant pot.

I also didn't really specify, but there's times we cook with nutrition and health as the main factors, and times we cook for indulgence or for cravings, and I definitely blurred the line some in my original response.

My wife and I tag-team the parts we hate most (I don't like working with dough, but she hates steaming it) and we end up with enough for a week to cook into actual recipes without too much headache, but I can't just buy a protein ready to go like I used to be able to.

She also conceivably had to work prior to retiring to start her family.

Not sure why you're convinced she had everything handed to her?

I'd recommend checking out Miyoko's recipe for stuff like unribs, if you want some fancier Seitan-based recipes.

Also, a lot of farmland is used to grow feed for cattle and other livestock, and it's much less efficient than using the land to grow crops for people instead.

It's been a while, but I remember findings signalling something like 30% less emissions?

The real crime is that we are gonna have to think of a different name for non-euclidean chicken products.

Seems like as of a bit earlier this year, they still contained animal products, but this is in the US (in Canada, for example, it's vegan ingredients only).

So we can't eat them and people who liked the tallow-fried ones don't enjoy them as much (?)

2. I'll keep this one short since I rambled for way too long about rice, I think eating more than one piece of fruit per day is fine. Depending on what is in season, my personal tastes sometimes have me missing my fruit target, but I still think having an extra apple or some berries is a way better snack than anything but maybe some raw vegetables. Juice, and dried (with sugar added) fruits are unhealthy except in moderation, but fruit shouldn't be lumped in with those. The fiber helps slow the digestion, and they are vitamin-bombs.

Mental instability can mean that something small is more likely to push someone much farther than it should.

And that is the only arguably victimless crime in your list of 3. A crime can be committed by a rational person (if I don't do this, my child dies), and it can be committed by someone who is not mentally well. I would argue that these, especially the last crime, are all crimes likely to be committed by someone who is not in a stable or healthy state of mind.

I think meat substitutes like the Impossible Burger are more likely to preserve cultural heritage in food than a meal replacement, personally.

Do you know much about the environmental/carbon cost comparison between your plane and an airline jet?

I am guessing the smaller plane is better, consumption-wise with gas used per person, than an airline jet?
