Donât forget the benefits of normalising vegetarianism/âveganism for the people around you. This makes the impact of being vegetarian/âvegan bigger than just the number of chickens you donât eat.
My sister has been vegetarian since she was 6 and has passively inspired many of the rest of our family to either become vegetarian/âvegan or at least reduce our meat consumption. I have in turn inspired other people to make changes. My sisterâs impact is much more than just the animals she hasnât eaten.
I think we tend to forget that large-scale social changes result from lots of people making âinsignificantâ individual choices which gently pressure others to change. Itâs a snowball effect that is hard to measure and predict, so itâs easy to feel like our personal choices donât matter.
