    The majority of farming is for animal feed we could easily scale down plant and vegetable farming while eliminating animal exploitation and still see everyone feed.

      Yeah. But not all of it. Factory produce framing is murder too.

        Do you not see a difference if I step on an ant while walking or if I search for ants to drown for my pleasure?

          We were taking about the death of animals.

          If you have the choice to avoid certain types of foods that kill more animals than other types of foods I don’t see much difference other than a relativism. So no coffee. No tea. Only organic local foods that are in season grown on a small farm you personally know the SOPs of…

          Btw I avoid meat almost entirely. I just think the moral righteousness I see from Whole Foods Amazon vegetarians to be wholly laughable.

            In my experience, my organic local crops still involve animal deaths. And need cows to fertilize.

            Balanced is simply better than vegan. Not everyone eats balanced, but people who do should not be shamed for it.

              As long as you eat food and consume basic household goods you’re doing so.
