Even your expanded comment doesn't make your point. It never explains why you see a "whole food plant based diet" as a non starter. Without knowing the basis for your objection, it is hard to start a discussion and your comment ends up with little power to sway people's opinions. (Just repeatedly saying "no" is an especially ineffective argument.)
Personally, I enjoy cheese and meat far too much to adopt such a diet on a strict basis.
However, we can gain many of the ecological benefits of such a diet by simply increasing the precentage of our caloric intake that comes from such sources.
I have found over the years it is just simply easier to put down vegan's and vegetarians quickly. Just now I finished my breakfast, it had zero carbs, zero vegetables, zero plants, and consisted of meat from 2 animals.
I am not interested in the ecological benefits of "whole food plant based diet" nor are most people, the idea that people will simply adopt that diet if they learn of the "ecological benefits" is frankly absurd IMO.

Then please do that elsewhere. HN strives to be a place for constructive discussion, not putting people down as fast as possible.
> I am not interested in the ecological benefits
I know plenty of people who limit their meat consumption due to ecological concerns. You may not care how the planet looks in 50 years but many people do and do so strongly enough to male significant changes to their lifestyle. (Which of those changes are actually effective is a whole different question.)
