    So, caring about the environment = cool

    But caring about animals, which are inextricably a part of the environment (a link which can be demonstrated by the pollution produced by industrial farming) = not cool?

    Seems an odd place to draw the line, but ok.

        and? are you really going to use “but they’re doing it!” as the justification? if everyone around you is kicking people with freckles will you join in just because?

        “it’s natural” is a complete non-sequiteur, it has 0 bearing on whether or not we should do it.

        It’s all about balance. Factory farms are not balanced. Eating meat isn’t evil (in my opinion) but factory farming absolutely is.
