Yeah it's a shitty parsing of it, because my mind went there too.
But if the restaurant was using 1 entire cow to make 1 single 1/2lb burger, that's on the restaurant to do better.
There's a lot of that happening that corporations need to focus on.
Sure, but perhaps people could stop eating at that restaurant?
Because how some people currently are acting is that they continue to support these corporations, unwilling to switch to alternatives.
If the restaurant is the only source of food around, what do you do then? Not eat?
It transpose into the fact that North American societies made car centric cities with poor public transit where many place that aren't a city, you need a car to literally do everything.
And even cities cut budgets for public transit.
A simple example from a friend of mine. He makes an effort to go to work by public transit instead of taking his car.
If he takes his car, it's a 10 minutes ride. If he takes public transit, it takes him an hour to get to work. I wouldn't blame him for taking his car to get to work.
Well, ten minutes by car probably means he could gobwith a bicycle !
