Jumping from the observation that a given term is of a philosophical nature (whatever that might mean) to the conclusion that it is "not real", hence "irrelevant" is a fallacy. Likewise, observing that not only exhibit A has property P but also exhibits C, D, and E is no proof that property P is irrelevant with respect to A.
"Democracy", "freedom", "the law", "the economy"—all of these terms are in the realm of Philosophy and are subject to philosophical discussion, as they ought; none of these is not highly relevant in a universal, everyday, hands-on sense. Likewise, that meat production is wasteful doesn't mean it's a good idea to add yet another wasteful item to a place characterized by finite resources.
