      The meat industry overall is bad for everyone, the amount of food it requires to feed the meat we eat is extremely wasteful. From an economic standpoint, meat is “bad”, let alone the lobbying done by the meat industry.

      Eating meat increases the chances of heart disease. Some protein is good, but we eat way too much. From a public health standpoint, meat is “bad”

      In general, it’s good to lessen harm. Factory slaughtering living things that grew up in what’s effectively a prison is not lessening harm.

      But, I do like the taste of meat unfortunately. Ill splurge on lab grown meat when it becomes available, but even though I’m a hypocrite for liking the taste of meat doesn’t mean vegans are wrong because they’re annoying to deal with

        a lot of what we give livestock are parts of plants that people can’t or won’t eat. that’s the opposite of wasteful.

          Parts of plans that were specifically grown for livestock that we won’t eat, that is. At least a big part.
