69. Fine.
However, if you want a thoughtful respectful discussion, you keep can't keep changing the topic.

First you stated your goal to reduce people's meat eating.
Then, you are all for choices, but you are speaking up for factory farmed animals.
Then, it's not about factory farming but the environment and resources.

Fine. Let's have a discussion about the environment. Why not be pushing to reduce human populations, since that is the single biggest factor destroying the environment and using resources? Let's tackle why people shouldn't have more than one child or have no children, since that impacts the world far more than if they eat meat.

The reason that environment argument fails with vegans/vegetarians is that they only use the environment argument when it furthers what they really want...which is people not eating meat. Maybe you are different though.
