Factory 'farming' of animals should be banned, pasture raised animals should be promoted and protected. amirite?

It should be But it's more expensive than factory farming and people are already bitching about the price of factory farmed products

Whoever opts for factory farming will undercut those who don't and profit so much as to drive them out of business

meh, it will be like slavery, unfortunately still around, but people only buy products produced by it if they don't know how it was produced (except for diamonds, people seem to be ok with slavery being used to mine rocks for some reason). Factory farming will be looked at with the same kind of horror in the future.

You're assuming people GAF about how dinner was treated. PETA tried to make folks care and became a punch line

> PETA tried to make folks care in the beginning, lately they seem to just want to create conflict and make people hate them. Maybe they got coopted by idiots or meat industry stooges.

I agree but yeah, we'd have to eat like 1/11 the amount of meat we do if we eat ethically raised animals. It'd be wayy more expensive and most people would have majority plant based diets anyways. (or turn to other alternatives like bugs or lab meat)

I think you are over-estimating the difference in "healthiness" of the food produced by the different methods. I'm also unconvinced that "factory farmed" livestock has more effect on global warming than the same number of animals on pasture.

Pasture raised animals can be beneficial for the environment. Obviously you're not going. to be raising anywhere near as many animals though.

That could work if our population was lower. Feeding 8 billion people is unfortunately not pretty.

> That could work It could and it will. It's not like continuing factory farming is an option. We will have to eat less. I'm fine with it, if the meat I am eating is wild and/ or pasture raised.

Only the wealthy would be able to afford real meat at that point. It would be bug burgers for the masses.
