How do you nonforcefully change how entire groups of people are?
Shemaya: I may be wrong about the connection, I surely can't prove it. Thus it is essentially, 'just', a belief of mine.
Ok TTP. Sorry I was so harsh in my wording, I get a little fired up sometimes!
I think one of the best ways to change people is the free market. Cut all subsidies to factory farms and the monoculture, agribusiness that feeds them. Let the prices rise so that people make affordable plant- based choices. Encourage small local farmers to do their work in an Eco- friendly way, ie Permaculture methods and state of the art sustainable practices via tax breaks or other support for sustainable practices which will help balance out the prices for organic, locally produced foods.
But this would require activists to demand legislative changes. Most activists are hardliners who just want to change people who eat animal products and liberate the animals, so I don't know if there is any movement on the changes I am talking about.
To get people to change, they need education. So we need lots of people passionate about growing food and teaching others about it, experts in the field. It would be great, awesome to see this as a required school subject and teach our children in school.
It's a real learning curve to learn new ways to eat and cook and prepare foods, people are very particular about what they eat.
