Even if you believe that plants are conscious eating plants instead of animals is still more ethical because it takes around 7kg of plant feed to produce 1kg of meat. So you’re responsible for the death of the animal and all the plants it ate.
- smaddox 9y agoThat depends on how much plant feed you need to consume to offset the calories and nutrition from 1kg of meat. This will, of course, depend on the plant and the meat, but I'm sure you could make some reasonable assumptions. I've never done the math, but would be interested to hear if anyone has.

The ratio can be as bad as 20 to 1. http://www.wri.org/blog/2016/04/sustainable-diets-what-you-need-know-12-charts http://www.wri.org/blog/2016/04/sustainable-diets-what-you-n...
