    It’s not so complex, to make meat, it requires growing crops and then raising the animal. If you cut out the raising animal part and eat the crops you have partaken in less death of animals. We all live with the conditions we have been put into though, I don’t blame anyone or think anyone is pathetic.

      It really does harm the planet more to consume meat than vegetables, at least on the commercial level, since we then have to process and transport the grain to feed the livestock. My problem with meat isn’t necessarily with the death of the animal. Obviously, I’m a proponent of humane conditions for the animal while they’re alive and humane methods of death when they die; my problem lies with the commercialized food system in general. We have become so far removed from the process that most of us don’t even know or care where our food comes from.
