Acharya Prashant addresses the critical link between meat consumption and climate change, noting that organizations like the United Nations have faced pressure to suppress information regarding the environmental impact of the meat and dairy industries. He asserts that while human population is a broad cause of climate change, individual choices regarding meat consumption are the primary drivers at a personal level. He explains that the dairy and meat industries are inextricably linked; dairy animals are raised with the intent of eventually being sold for meat to ensure economic sustainability. Therefore, consumers of dairy products are indirectly responsible for the slaughter and exploitation of animals, as the two industries support each other financially.
