Unfortunately this is a polarizing question. Perhaps readers might consider answering some less polarizing questions that help the author to get more relevant data: 1. Do you see eating vegetables as important for your diet? 2. Do you feel it’s important to care for animals? How would you best care for animals raised for food? 3. Would you consider eating less meat products if it benefitted society to do so? 4. Would you consider eating more vegetables if it benefitted society to do so? 5. Do you fear that vegetable protein alone is insufficient nutritionally? 6. If it were healthier to eat a diet of primarily vegetables and whole grains with less animal products, would you consider trying such a diet? And so on... My opinion: Animal products are deeply intertwined with human culture. The path to less animal suffering and more vegetable consumption is most likely one of reduction in meat eating as opposed to elimination. Factory farms and slaughterhouses exist because of demand. If we all just worked toward less meat consumption—all 10 billion of us-we could probably make life better for humans and for all animals-not just those raised for food. It’s worth a try.
