Research and experience show that of all the people who say this (I would pay X more for animal-friendler meat), few follow through. I pay around 25% more for meat that is produced with the animals having better lives and the relative amount of such products available does not line up with the amount of people that say they would buy it.
- smackay 15y agoThe full statement is probably "I would pay X more for animal-friendlier meat if it was sitting next to the animal-unfriendly meat on the supermarket shelf". Not an indictment per se but it usually takes a lot of work on the producer and consumer side of the equation to effect real change in people's habits.

However, many people won't eat animal meat on moral principals, and quite likely would be willing to pay twice as much for non-animal meat. (Basically all they have to do to make it affordable is eat half the portion size of traditional carnivore consumers).
