Reply #55: "you can be against factory farming without being against people eating meat"

[garybeck]

I'm not against "people" as you suggest. you are correct that you can be against factory farming and not necessarily against eating meat. however, you have to realize the truth is that even the best "non-factory" farming methods are still far worse on the environment and resources than vegetable farming. organic grass fed is better than factory farming, but it doesn't touch vegetable farming in terms of resources required to produce a given amount of protein/nutrients.

I won't take the "LOL" personally but if you want to engage in a thoughtful respectful discussion with someone I suggest not starting out by laughing at them.
