Not the person you're replying to, but I've helped process chickens half a dozen or so times. The smell puts me off eating chicken for a week or so, but overall the answer to your question has a lot of nuance. Broadly speaking yes. On the other hand, I definitely eat less meat when I don't how it was raised and slaughtered. I'm no saint: I had a fast food burrito last night while traveling, but I certainly try to eat less meat that comes to me by a long supply chain that hides any sense of accountability for the well-being of the animal from the consumer. Let's also not forget the human cost of industrially produced meat. If there's one thing the pandemic should have taught us, it's that animal processing is a job people do under fairly challenging conditions, for which many of them are poorly paid, and some of them aren't in a good position to advocate for change because of their immigration status. And this is the problem with industrial agriculture. All of the good or bad practices that go into bringing food to our plates is abstracted away such that we don't have to think about them or hold ourselves to account for them. Am I comfortable with how those chickens I help process come to my plate? Absolutely, and without reservations. The sausage from the local farm we patronize? Yup! The pork in that burrito last night? A lot less so, but I was hungry and needed a meal quick. The burger at McDonald's? Nope. That's why I drove by it and hit the burrito place instead.
