  • The only way meat is cheaper than a slavery free vegan (or vegetarian) diet is if that meat comes from a torture factory

    a single counterexample would disprove this. also, torture factories don’t exist.

    Some of these factory farms are pretty torturous for the animals, like the scale of our meat production is way too high to be clean or humane, ESPECIALLY chicken.

    Local meat is still worse for the environment than non-meat that was shipped across the globe

    I don’t know how you can prove this

    Measurement of carbon emissions is a huge one but local meat is still usually better in that aspect, and it’s also the people doing the local farming have closer to living wages usually.

    Vegans that think like this aren’t right, you can not eat meat if you want, but eating meat is a natural thing. We humans, especially in America, eat entirely too much meat, but we are omnivores. You don’t need meat to survive but it’s easier to do so when you eat meat. The real issue is the cruelty and unsanitary conditions that are rampant across the factory farm/meat industry. There is too little regulation, and too few companies controlling the market. An equally good form of protest is to just get your meat sourced locally. It can be an even better form of protest depending on what you would eat as a vegan, because there are several crops that are commonly eaten by vegans that have slave labor and water depletion involved i.e. almonds and quinoa.
