How’s this rational? That’s an emotional evaluation. I’m not even arguing with that. But that’s not the point of the discussion.
Maybe “nightmare” is too subjective/emotional. But it’s undeniably unsustainable, inhumane, barbaric and outdated. We know better is the biggest issue. We don’t need to treat our food that way.
(P.S. I’m not vegan, I’m just full of cognitive dissonance lol)
Meat production is a prime contributor to climate change. Large amounts of resources go into raising meat. Further, cattle and pig production (not so much chicken) is the prime pathway to food contamination. Whenever you see lettuce recalls because of e. coli, that’s because animal shit got mixed in with the lettuce or the water for the lettuce.
Choosing not to eat meat because of these facts seems like a pretty rational choice, no emotion involved.
