This is a reasonable question and I agree that the two points don't line up -- factory farms being good or bad does not mean all meat eating is good or bad.

- poulsbohemian 3y agoYeah... it seems to me like the main arguments are: ethics, environmental, and nutrition, in that order. If you agree that it is acceptable to eat meat, you might still be concerned about the environment impact. As I look at the data, it seems to me like raising animals outside our factory production system is not nearly the environmental catastrophe as some would like to project. In fact, I'm inclined to believe that there may even be a net positive, depending on the practices. The problem is, those practices don't yield cheap meat, so they often get discarded as impractical.
