Reminds me of a quote from Sailesh Rao in The End of Medicine film, "When we say we'll go back to small scale farming, we're basically saying the problem is not that WE'RE eating animal foods, the problem is that the riffraff are eating animal foods. If you can make the poor people stop eating animal foods, there'll be plenty for the rich to eat animal foods. It's a very classist, colonialist argument to make. I'm just shocked that anyone would make it in this day and age."
