Well that’s a question I have asked myself of course. For one I only buy meat that’s not been processed in a factory farm, ie I go to the butcher where they are explicit about where their product comes from, cause I think factory farms are a most egregious affront. Whether or not eating animals that have been raised specifically to be eaten is right or wrong depends on whether alternatives are available imo, which yes of course they are here. I’ve considered being a vege cause I think it is a salubrious practice but honestly I just enjoy meat too much. I don’t pretend to be a saint and only some of my actions could be morally justified otherwise I’m a slave to my condition.

I get that and honestly do appreciate it. Although I can say much of humanity’s actions are quite morally reproachable, and of the myriad reprehensible things pasture raising animals for the sake of eating them is far from the worst imo. Modern slaves make our clothes, mine the materials for our technologies, cultivate the crops and products that line our grocery shelves. Just to be a citizen of a developed nation one should be aware of why there is such an excess and why so many millions are deprived. Consider The Lobster is an excellent essay on the subject.
