I feel like you didn't really read what I said. I eat meat because I like it. I have no desire to go out of my way to not eat meat. If I don't feel like eating meat with a meal then I won't. I have no internal struggle or "convincing myself that it's ok". I despise the way food animals are treated, like they're not even living creatures, but I feel no guilt in eating the end result.
Frankly you have no right to make such assumptions about my character. You have no idea of my situation any more than I have of yours. If you can be a vegan and be happy, good! I'm happy for you. But I am not a vegan, and I am also happy. Saying "Everybody should be a vegan" is no different than saying "Everybody should run a mile every day". Sure it's a generally beneficial lifestyle, but it's just that: a lifestyle, and it's not for everybody.
You're breaking the fourth tenet my friend, but I forgive you because I know you just want what you think is best for people.
Not everybody should be a vegan. There's plenty to gain from eating meats and vegetables, and humans evolved to be capable of eating both. Some day in the future I hope meat is replaced with either fully synthetic or lab -growth meats simply because I don't think any living creature should have to live the way food animals (I forget the word) do currently. But for now I will continue eating meat because I am just one man and meat is very tasty.
Let me see if I understand:
Blue and red vase don't like each other and are about to fight
Red vase smashes blue vase, killing him. Man in the background sees.
Man is sad about red vase smashing blue vase, red vase doesn't care.
Man tells red vase ~~he is trash~~ if he keeps smashing other vases and being hateful, he's going in the trash, red vase doesn't care.
Man tells red vase he loves him, red vase doesn't care.
Red vase tells man he hates him and the blue vase.
Man smashes red vase.
Man puts red vase in the trash. In the background there's a picture of red, blue, and yellow vase, and a big picture of red vase (going by shape).
Did I miss anything?
Here's my perspective, but it might be pretty wrong:
I think the reason for the low demand is due in large part to the pre-existing gas industry, at least in the US. Not just because of marketing advertising gas-powered more, but also because people don't like to change, and buying a new car is not cheap. Not to mention that the US infrastructure is so heavily solidified in gas. It's just easier to continue buying gas-powered because it's already so supported across the country. Then the industry benefits from this because they can say, "oh, huh, looks like people still want gas-powered! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and so the cycle repeats.
I think a lot of people don't really understand how much power corporations really have over what the people do or don't do, like or don't like, etc.. 99% of the time people will take the easy option, and corps take advantage of that by making the easy option the cheapest and best for themselves instead of what's best for the people. Corporations only do what's right for them, and are masters of making it out to be that that's what the people want.
