    Would it make the meat industry more ethical if happy drugs were made available to animals? If I had to choose between a meaningful (even if I didn’t know it when living), blissful unnatural life and none at all, I’d choose the former.

    It’s the negative affect and suffering (stress, pain, boredom etc) that is the bad part of eating animals.

    (I think— I know others have thought more than I on this topic)

    It just seems like an easier tech solution might be promising

      solve the land use problem for growing cattle feed if you want it to be maximally ethical.
