Look, I think we can all agree that factory farming has serious problems. No one's defending that. But the idea that eating any meat at all is automatically wrong just doesn't hold up.
Here's the thing - humans evolved eating meat. Our bodies are literally designed for it. B12, heme iron, certain amino acids - you can get these from plants, sure, but it takes serious planning and often supplements. That's not natural, that's workaround.
And what about indigenous communities? What about people with food allergies or digestive issues? A blanket "no meat ever" rule ignores real human diversity. Some people thrive on plant-based diets, others don't.
I'm not saying we shouldn't reduce meat consumption. We absolutely should. But absolute moral purity? That's a luxury not everyone can afford. Let's focus on better farming practices and reducing waste instead of drawing hard lines in the sand.
