Or veggies. Veggies are always nice.
WRI published an interesting article on this subject a week or so ago:

Systemic pressure [e.g. voting / collective action] creates enabling conditions, but individuals need to complete the loop with our daily choices. It's a two-way street — bike lanes need cyclists, plant-based options need people to consume them. When we adopt these behaviors, we send critical market signals that businesses and governments respond to with more investment.
WRI's research quantifies the individual actions that matter most. While people worldwide tend to vastly overestimate the impact of some highly visible activities, such as recycling, our analysis reveals four significant changes that deliver meaningful emissions reductions.
Veggie - not "mains", not complex enough
Plant based meats - too complex
IDK, but it sounds like you haven't really tried the full spectrum of offerings from plants. It's not just beyond meat and celery out there - There's a whole spectrum of flavors and if you want more, but not the full punch of a plant based meat, maybe try incorporating more variety into your plate
Vegetables aren't so scary, are they?
How does that work? Do you never eat meat when you go out?
There aren't a ton of places in the world with a good supply of vegetarian/vegan food AND enough of an ag industry you can go around petting your meat.
Good on you!
When my wife and I started being conscious about our food intake, it wasn't too bad to give up red meat, and shrink meat portions / add veggies.
It took us months of learning / trying new recipes to actually get to the point where we were consistently eating fewer than 14 meat-centric meals a week (lunch/dinner). Once we got comfortable cooking plant based dishes though, we had built up so much momentum that we went from 1 or 2 plant based meals a week to 100% in just a few weeks.
It takes a long time to build up that comfort level, but at some point a switch just flips and the new "normal" is just as easy as what you were used to.
They've gotta check with best friend's cousins former roommate who runs a "sustainable" slaughter house where they "exclusively" (once a year) source their meat.
255 grams per week. That's the short answer to how much meat you can eat without harming the planet. And that only applies to poultry and pork.

Beef cannot be eaten in meaningful quantities without exceeding planetary boundaries, according to an article published by a group of DTU researchers in the journal Nature Food. So says Caroline H. Gebara, postdoc at DTU Sustain and lead author of the study."
Our calculations show that even moderate amounts of red meat in one's diet are incompatible with what the planet can regenerate of resources based on the environmental factors we looked at in the study. However, there are many other diets—including ones with meat—that are both healthy and sustainable," she says.
Yeah but maybe their toes are just jammed up all the way to the front and they don't know how shoes work! You never know!
Would it be cool if all planets of the same type weren't a single climate stereotype? Sure. When you're going to visit multiple tens of different planets in a single play session, does that actually matter? Probably not.
Agreed. Multiple biomes on a single planet would be cool, at the cost of probably an order of magnitude more complexity on the procedural generation engine, but functionally the difference would be trivial when traveling to the other side of the planet to visit the "snow" or "desert" region (if your planet even has one) is about as difficult as just flying to another system with an ice or desert planet.
Can it be done? Probably. Would it be cool? Yes. Would it have a dramatic impact on gameplay? Probably not.
Mmm school cafeteria fish, sounds delish and like nothing could be even remotely disappointing about that option.
At first glance I thought this was rimworld and you were running some organ harvesting operation of epic proportions.

Driving less, flying less, shifting home energy use and eating less meat all have a significant impact on the climate. But personal shifts alone aren't enough.
The message is everywhere: You (alone) can save the planet
Choose a veggie burger instead of beef. Book this flight, not that one. Buy thrift over fast fashion. Shrink your "carbon footprint."
But here's what most people don't know: The very concept of a personal carbon footprint originated with oil giant British Petroleum (BP). In 2004, BP launched a carbon calculator to persuade people to measure their personal climate impacts. The campaign worked — shifting our collective gaze from fossil fuel companies, the biggest drivers of the climate crisis, to individuals like you and me.
Two decades later and with climate disasters rapidly intensifying, we're still caught in this sleight-of-hand. Choices made by corporations and governments continue to shape the speed and scale of climate disruption, while marketing campaigns around climate action try to shift our focus to consumer decisions.
