My take on veganism:
I've watched a lot of docs on the meat processing industry and the thing I get stuck on (chickens for example) are so genetically messed up that the "food chickens" we have grow so fast their bones actually snap under their weight.
Essentially, 100s of thousands of birds are genetically modified through selection where they simply couldn't survive in the wild or even survive into adulthood.
Like the horror that is going onto with the animals is objectively awful, however it seems like if we stop eating meat, millions of animals will die and we would lose tons of animals simply because of the selective breeding process has primed them to only be food sources.
I don't think veganism in an effort for ethical animal treatment is bad, however the animal treatment is so bad, is cutting out meat actually a solution?
