Poll: Do you eat plant-based?

3 points by shafyy ↗ HN
I'm wondering what percentage of the HN folks eat a plant-based diet.

I mean I'm sure the cows and pigs I ate at one point or another ate plants so.
I don't think about what I eat like that at all.
Humans evolved as omnivores. Why try to change that for no specific reason?

Vegetarianism sounds like the wrong answer to a different problem altogether.

[If you think that vegetarianism without reducing human numbers is a solution to the Climate Change Problem, that is not a suitable answer.

What is required is to reduce total emissions, and the way to do that is to have less humans producing emissions. One of the ways of reducing the number of humans is to limit births to 'one child per woman'.]
