    On the one hand, factory farming seems inhumane. Treating animals like a product will inevitably end up as abuse because lower standards for health and wellness makes a cheaper product. Consumers vote with their wallets, and if there is not a noticable drop in quality, they will buy the cheaper product, as the price is the main thing they can see and measure when making a purchasing decision.

    On the otherhand, most things in this world that get eaten die screaming while being consumed asshole first after running as fast as they can for a few seconds.

    At the end of the day, I still eat meat, but I wish there was a better way to inform the consumer of the quality of life of the animals in the products they purchase. Maybe an independent review board that sets wellness standards that each meat supplier has to post on their packaging.

      Ever notice how despite criticizing the meat industry no one has been able to show how we can feed everyone without animal proteins?

      Not a single vegan solution out there that scales to numbers that matter.
