Let's put aside for the moment that I could give a rat's ass about any Green Movement. I simply see this (Meatless Monday) as a step on the path to healthier eating, better management of our resources (plants and animals) and movement to eating better food (to get better meat one will have to accept that it cannot be farmed on an industrial scale which means scaling back the amount we all consume in the first place).
All of that aside, why the fuck wouldn't business people seek to profit from the so-called Green Movement? Your post intimates that any involvement by big business invalidates the net effect. If there is no net effect to the positive in the the products and services you purchase, you are purchasing the wrong things. You appear to have a case of blaming the co-opter.
As for India and China, yes, they are a concern, but I can tell you that per capita, there a many more vegetarians in India than there are in the US. Why not work to develop a better way for all of us to use our resources? There are efficiencies to be had (read: profits) why not find them rather than continuing down the path we are headed?
Oddly, despite suggesting we will be "incredibly fucked" when India and China catch up to the US levels of consumption, you appear to say that as they are going to do it anyway, so should we. How do you rationalize that? Either you think it's bad or it's not. And if you recognize it as bad, why not work to change things.
Sorry for the threadjack but post that attempt to be all rebellious and shit just annoy.
