It is impossible to get someone to understand something when their fast food, bacon, and grilled steaks depend upon their not understanding it. Meat ag is unwise for many reasons below but there is widespread resistance as per above. It requires leadership and alternative products to overcome. - Pandemic evolution, a few examples: BSE, COVID (indirectly), MERS, Q fever, Nipah, H1N1, H1N2, H2N2, H3N1, H3N2, H5N1, H7N7 - Climate change - Antibiotic resistance (given to cows because they can't digest corn properly) - Lower overall caloric production and net higher food prices - Freshwater and oceanic dead zones - Air pollution - Soil pollution - Somewhere down the list is animal cruelty, but it's historically been an unpersuasive argument Edit: Erroneously listed "H1N1" twice Edit2: Maybe not force, but taxation to make an FDA prime steak cost $1000 instead of $100.
