And that it can result in more deaths than hunting and eating one large animal.

I admit that modern agriculture can and should be improved to be less cruel. I would still be uncomfortable with the act of killing and eating the flesh of a sentient being like me.

    That’s not a sustainable method of food source production, which is why only the most remote and impoverished groups of people still do it. Once a population grows past a certain size, it’s literally impossible to rely on hunting as a food source.

    It’s also still unnecessary murder, and nobody should be forced to eat a dead carcass. That’s unnatural and gross.

      Makes sense. The more I think about it, it’s a contrived example to make meat eating look better. Why don’t you compare with someone who forages and eats plants from a forest?
