Hilarious and actualy my GF stopped with eating meat and I am following her trend already for a +- 2 months now
It's commendable!! I think someday people stop eating meat.
Never going to happen.
The problem isn't eating meat either, the problem lies in the draconian conditions in which most animals that are raised for human consumption live.
This is partially countered with true free range, which costs more (as it should, supermarket meat is too cheap). And the problem is fully countered with lab grown meat, which is just around the corner.
If you care about animals buy meat, eggs and dairy from suppliers that let their animals live naturally without restrictions. That funnels money away from battery farming cunts and supports animal welfare by providing genuine farmers with more funds.
This is what vegetarians and vegans should really be doing (unless they genuinely hate the taste of meat), as it would clearly signal the markets to invest into animal welfare over cutting costs by any means available. The end destination of this path is real meat with no bloodshed.
Meanwhile the end destination of veganism is the near complete to complete extinction of life stock that can not possibly live in nature as there would be no incentive to raise it.
I care about what kind of meat tastes better and is more nutritional.
They are products. Literal lambs for the slaughter. No need to be senselessly cruel, but human diet comes first.
Battery farmed meat tastes like nothing. It's almost exclusively water.
If you care about taste you care about animal welfare by transitivity, as free ranging and a proper diet directly translate into tastier meat.
There's a reason why a steak of Iberico pork tastes as if it was fried in nut oil, namely because they've been eating nothing but nuts throughout their whole life. Similarly, animals that ate the garbage that they are fed in battery farms without ever getting to move around taste like garbage.
And once it comes to lab meat there won't be any limit to taste experiences that could be crafted that were never before possible, e.g. mix and matching different types of meats and adjusting their flavour profile as if the animals were fed certain diets will become a thing in due time.
There is no argument for battery farms other than cost and profit.
The cost argument doesn't hold as lab meat is ultimately going to be cheaper by so many orders of magnitude that not funding it can't be called anything but retarded. And the profit argument, well. Should people and animals suffer so some twat can make a few more dollars?
It's pretty clear that battery farms are a net negative today, more people could be fed without them, they make animals suffer throughout their entire lifetime, they fuck the environment, the produce is shit tier, they make humans sick and/or immune to antibiotics, etc.
