> required Source? Keep in mind factory farms are subsidized by corn subsidies (used for feed) and by not paying for externalities, namely the antibiotic-resistance they breed due to their overuse of medication to keep animals alive in such oppressive environments. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a far greater threat to that world of 8 billion people than slightly higher meat prices. > counterfactual fantasy 20-40% of India is vegetarian, and factory farms barely existed before the 1950s, and become widespread even later. Far from a fantasy, it did and does work. There's nothing lazier than looking at a system, and declaring, without evidence, that no other way could work. Especially when there are counterexamples in living memory.
