As a macro image, this sucks ass, even if I agree 100% with the messaging. Meat is murder in every western sense of the word.

I apologize i slapped this together with no knowledge of the canvas size

All fair, but where's the pizaz? Throw a smiling white woman eating a salad and a greyscale image of a sad-looking pig. The only way to effect change is to emotionally manipulate the Western urbanites.

I noticed the white people with privilege are the most vocal critics of veganism. They act pretty Roman if you ask me haha.

Of course they are. Their gated communities in the northern hemisphere are going to be the last affected areas of the climate change they're literally eating themselves towards. Why should they care?

While they also bring up the idea that it’s racist by being vegan as there is indigenous folks who have to hunt in foods deserts when in reality when you bring up the concept of veganism to the remote indigenous people they have a more nuanced view on it.

If Amerircan whites didn't have artificial differences to separate themselves from the darkskins, they'd realize there's really nothing different about them and that their position in the globalist hierarchy is completely arbitrary. Best to just let them think that encouraging meat-eating is actually a necessary evil and that they're the good guys for turning a blind eye on the pitiful, primitive habits of the poors.
