    There are ways to eat meat without supporting it though (I know 99% of people who say that don’t do that). I have one friend who is “vegetarian” but lives in a rural area. He would take meat from his neighbors, who ran farms, and eat it if it was headed for the trash

    This just isn’t viable on a mass scale, unless a massive proportion of the population goes vegan, leaving a infinitesimal minority relying on slightly more ethical means to eat meat.

      Responsible and ethical meat farming is possible (at least in as far as not causing pain and misery to livestock). Capitalism and greed are what’s preventing it currently.

      Meat definitely shouldn’t be 60%+ of anyone’s calories, though.

        Yes, but it can’t supply the massive demand alone, unless there is a big reduction in meat eating. And it won’t help with emissions reduction in any significant way either.
