   People have fetishized animals so much that creating synthetic goop in the form of flesh somehow got billions in founding. Omnivores eat meat, even herbivores do it sometimes, get over it.

      It’s not the meat eating that’s the problem. It’s the industrial farming that we’ve instituted in the last 75 years.

      Cows can be treated nicely, given a field to romp in, fun toys, and then euthanized quickly without causing them fear.

      But that means leaving wide open space that’s not making the shareholders enough extra money and therefore we don’t do it. Instead, we torture them.

         It also destroys that land and the environment.

         The land we use for ranching isn't empty or useless. That's just what resource extractors always say.
