       Meat consumption at its current scope is quintessentially dependent on disproportionate government subsidies because otherwise the costs to breed, shelter, and harvest the animal in millions would be too extreme for affordable prices.The consumer effectively absorbs a fraction of the caloric value of the cow, and the cow in turn absorbed a fraction of the caloric value of its feed. It is disproportionate.The feed requisite to fatten cattle is multiple times the volume that would otherwise be required for direct consumption if the resources dispensed to feed the cattle were used for crops to feed us. Disproportionate.To meet the demand for animal feed, ecologies are destroyed. If we consumed crops directly from the land that would otherwise be wielded to fatten cattle, much less land would be necessary. Disproportionate.The demand for meat and associated products is so vast that the entirety of the animals farmed could not be processed in conditions even close to reconcilable with basic ethics or empathy. You cannot meet the demand remotely whilst maintaining a minimum of conditions. Disproportionate.That is all that the carnivore diet is—disproportionate.Vegans are bourgeois moralists, says the industrial predator with blood dripping from their mouth.

       @Mahimiko funniest one i saw was a rationalist yuppie type arguing that theres a utilitarian obligation to keep billions of cattle alive as long as they're treated better because more lives = utility. basically paperclipmaxxing but for cows

       @Mahimiko all these points are correct yet "[...] the industrial predator with blood dripping from their mouth" does make the industrial predator sound kind of awesome
