Hi, I 1000% agree with you. I was a vegetarian for a long time and only started eating meat again for health reasons. But it was a reluctant decision and one that I hope to go back on one day.
Anyways, have you ever thought about how that problem could be solved? Because you're right when you talk to people they don't give a s* about the animals we eat as food. I don't think people even make the connection between an animal and meat the vast majority of the time. It's just a product.
Yet as you know a lot of animals are suffering. Silently. Conscious beings are living out horrific nightmares for our benefit. It really really pisses me off that most people can't understand this.
But I'm kind of a hypocrite. Solving this problem won't get you the kudos that you would get for solving a problem that humans have. But it's an insanely huge problem. You might not get rewarded financially but you could end so much suffering. Have you ever thought about ways to attack this problem? I have but I've never come up with anything good.
Yes lab grown meat is on the way. But I don't think that's going to be the complete solution.
Animals do have to eat other animals sometimes. That's true for at least for some humans. So it's an inescapable reality. But how could we make existence less torturous for these helpless little animals?

lololol case in point. Someone downvoted both of my comments in this thread. There aren't too many things that make me want to fight someone on the internet anymore but people who hate the idea of not factory farming animals need to get the s* kicked out of them and I would be very happy to do it.
- xvector 7y agoI've often thought of a few theoretical solutions for fun: - End all factory farm animal life on the planet, to end the cycle of suffering once and for all, and force the development of lab-grown meat - Remove government subsidies that make meat absurdly cheap - Regulate animal suffering But honestly, I don't see any of these taking effect. We can only hope that lab grown meat is cheap enough and successful enough to wean most people off of suffering-based meat.
