I have bought meat at farmers markets, and make more humane choices in the grocery store where available (e.g. pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef), but I wouldn't pretend to think that killing animals is a good thing per se.
I'm not convinced that "humane" farming is a real answer to this problem. Unless it's theoretically scalable enough to feed the entire planet, I don't see how it would threaten the existence of less humane alternatives.
I agree that "humane" meat is the most practical option today, but Meati claims that they'll have scaled up production by the end of next year. Once it's available in grocery stores year-round at an affordable price, I see no reason not to prefer it over meat in general.
