Besides, we kill more animals coming after your precious growing plants than we do deliberately for food

That's just not true. It takes far more crops to produce animal products than just eating plants for food. Feeding another being is a process that is very lossy for energy (they move around, have body functions, etc. that use up that energy)

"1 kg of meat requires 2.8 kg of human-edible feed for ruminants and 3.2 for monogastrics"

"If everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops."

"Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products [9]."

You know, this argument would have better legs if our current approach to food production wasn't one of the biggest contributing factors to environmental destruction and climate change.

Yes, humans are omnivores, yes, animals eat other animals.

But we're not just eating other animals, we're selectively breeding animals en masse to be bigger and beefier than their own legs and heart muscles can handle. We take over vast swathes of arable land to grow introduced soy and corn crop, creating a destructive mono culture, then we don't even eat the nutritious crop, we pump it through feed pipes to barns and stock yards filled to the brim with thousands of animals.

Humans eating meat is natural.

But the way humans currently produce meat is far from natural.

While being vegan myself, I don't agree that every human on earth should also be vegan, I just think we collectively need to accept that meat is a luxury, and treat it as such.

Our hunter gatherer ancestors did not eat meat every day.

Our dawn of agriculture ancestors did not eat meat every day.

Our forebearers of the industrial revolution did not eat meat every day.

Our own grandparents, prior to the 1950s, did not eat meat every day.

We should eat meat as nature intended....not the way our current battery farming practices allow

The post had nothing to do with veganism, you interpreted that yourself.

You seem like such an unhappy person if a post about animal cruelty fuels you with this much hate and anger.

Probably lots of childhood trauma, hope you can find help managing all that pent up anger and grow as a person.

You can still eat meat and treat them with respect. We know that animals that have less stress, produce better quality products. By cramming them into tight spaces and feeding them antibiotics, we are risking diseases and low yields.
