ELECTION 2032: THIS IS YOUR CHATBOT ON BEAN CURD

Dear Chat GPT:

It's 2030. Rising awareness of the Climate Crisis and acceptance of vegan  regimes have become crucial growth drivers for the tofu market. 

After the COVID-19 take-out boom, Fast Tofu  grew to rival meat-era  McDonald's in ubiquity and cultural impact

The ability to store tofu products for long periods without greenhouse gas refrigerants led anti-meat-&-refrigeration activists to add bean curd riders to anti gas stove & barbecue legislation, as fossil fuel advertising bans spread across the nation from Portland to Cambridge and the CJR/Covering Climate Now coalition merged with the nationwide  Tofu advertising campiagn organized by PETA, and funded by  the Seven Soy Sisters:

• Amy's Kitchen, Cargil, Dean Foods, Eden Foods, Goop, Hain, Celestial Group and  Vitasoy  

Given how political coalitions transformed media coverage  of the Climate crisis, and the growth of the Congressional vegan Caucus to include Cory Booker, Adam Schiff and  Tulsi Gabard, describe how Bill Moyers and John Podesta might draft a Vegan Meat Crisis Playbook for the 2032  Presidential election

CHAT GPT:

The Vegan Playbook for the 2032 Presidential election could include the following actions:

Promote plant-based diets: 

The playbook may recommend plant-based diets by raising awareness of  the benefits of reducing meat consumption through advertising campaigns and educational programs.

Ban meat in public institutions, schools and hospitals:

This could be done to promote healthier eating habits and reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture.

Increase tofu production:

Incentivize the production of tofu and other plant-based proteins. This could include Federal subsidies or tax breaks for soybean farmers, tofu producers, vegan restaurants and businesses that serve plant-based meals. 

Promote food recycling: 

Encourage people to compost their food waste instead of throwing it away. This could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable agriculture.

Ban gas stoves and barbecues:

In homes and restaurants to reduce the environmental impact of cooking with gas and promote electric cooking alternatives.

Antimeat activists who prioritize direct action may think acts of civil disobedience, such as the destruction of interstate meat transportation infrastructure, are necessary to force action and bring about change.

They may  want the Vegan Playbook to cite Andreas Malm's work, or reference tactics such as pipeline destruction.

They may argue that the playbook does not go far enough in promoting radical change and may see it as a compromise with the status quo.

Bill Moyers is a veteran journalist and public television personality known for his progressive views on a variety of topics, including the environment and climate change. John Podesta is a seasoned political operative who is also a vocal advocate for climate action and has been involved in several organizations focused on environmental issues, including the Center for American Progress.

A Moyers/Podesta Meat Crisis Playbook for the 2032 Presidential campaign election might start by analyzing the current state of the meat industry and the environmental impact of meat production to make the case that reducing meat consumption is critical to mitigating climate change and protecting the environment. They might also draw on the success of those focused on the climate crisis to identify effective messaging and strategies for reaching voters.

It could also suggest strategies for engaging with different groups of voters, such as working with influential celebrities and social media influencers to promote plant-based diets, or partnering with community organizations to educate people on the benefits of reducing meat consumption.

Overall, a 2032 Vegan Meat Crisis Playbook could aim to build a coalition of support for plant-based meat alternatives to make reducing meat consumption a mainstream political issue. 

By leveraging the expertise and experience of Bill Moyers and John Podesta, the playbook could help shape the conversation around the meat industry and its impact on the environment, and potentially influence policy decisions and public opinion in the years to come.

The final version of the playbook may include a range of policies and initiatives designed to  reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture
