Some things have broader damage than their financial contribution to society. Whether dairy farming falls into that category is debatable.

I am a meat eater. I eat 25% of the meat that I used to. A large amount of my diet now is plant based.

How would I handle industries that cause some or a lot of harm? I would slowly wind them down, being careful to insure that people get new employment or retire comfortably. I wouldn't demand that they shutdown immediately like the woman that talked to Bernie seemed to have done, or how Bernie himself talks about fossil fuel industries. Now my method would not be perfect because those industries will still pollute as they are wound down to zero, but nothing in life is ever perfect.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
