Changing my country's eating habits.
Hiya. for some reason my country - Hossium - is frowning on meat eating. Now, being a total carnivore myself and despising all vegetables apart from the might potato, I am concerned that I am sending the wrong message to my citizens.
Does anyone know how I can change this to reflect my wishes?
Don't vote to ban meat the next time you get the chicken packets issue.
let them eat what they want! :D

The what issue?
I've never had this, can anyone enlighten me?

The chicken snack pack issue, where some animal rights activists protest cruelty to chickens being turned into food. I think that's the issue that bans meat eating.
I would NEVER vote to ban meat-eating. That's why I can't understand it.
If Cowps didn't want us to eat animals then why did he make them out of meat?

#7: Animal Liberation Front Strikes Again
The Issue
The increasingly militant Animal Liberation Front struck again last night, freeing dozens of chickens bound for delicious snack packs.
The Debate
1. "These nuts have got to be stopped," demands concerned consumer @@RANDOMNAME@@. "They need to face the fact people want snack packs, no matter how many innocent chickens must be sacrificed. Besides, chickens would do the same to us if they had the chance."
2. "These Liberationists are highlighting an important issue," pleads @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Too often, animals are put through needless cruelty, just to make their flesh taste a little more deliciously succulent. I'm sure we could ban the more horrific abuses without putting too much of a dent in our national obesity figures. Couldn't we?"
3. "Animals have feelings too!" yelled protestor @@RANDOMNAME@@, before being set upon by hungry passers-by. "Free the animals! Ban meat-eating!"
4. Economist @@RANDOMNAME@@ has an alternative. "You don't need to take away the people's right to choose. You just need to build the costs of animal suffering into the price. A tax on meat-eating, in proportion to the amount of cruelty involved, would do the trick. Plus think of the benefit for the national coffers! Of course, poor people wouldn't be able to afford meat, but that's just more incentive for them to get jobs."

If you pick option two,you will have your nation frown upon meat eating and number three will make vegetarianism compulsorary.
