The problem with meat is not that we eat it, but that we eat too much of it. Most people eat a week’s worth of meat in a single day, and that results in the over production of meat, which is helping to destroy the environment.
Most people only eat that much meat because of a combination of lobbying, advertising, education (or lack thereof, about where our food comes from, home ec, etc…) and so on which all influence and create social norms, all engineered and focused on making money for those at the top, not our health, not our well being, and definitely not those of the animals.
The horror that is factory farming only exists because of profit motives. Remove the profit motive and whole thing comes tumbling down (because it’s just unsustainable).
