    I still eat meat, but I’m aware of the meat industry. I would love if we could thrive on lab-grown meat (where we are only killing cells) rather than the current (killing animals). Now that we’re no longer eating animals purely for survival, we shouldn’t be taking advantage of lesser beings.

    Imagine if aliens came to earth and harvested us for food. We can beg and plead, but to the alien minds, who are much more intelligent to us, they interpret our cries as joy.

        I cant cut it out of my diet cold turkey. As kids, we are given food and told to eat it. Also, we dont yet have enough vegetarian options that satisfy the same needs.

        In another life, I’d be a vegetarian. I think farming milk and eggs (but not with industrial level abuse) is fine.

            I would hope they were impregnated naturally, and if so, the calves are added to the mix when they are old enough, or traded with other farms to prevent inbreeding
