I'm not sure I get your point. What does this have to do with 90 billion factory-farmed animals? (and I assume that doesn't include wild fishing).

I appreciate your reply. If I can paraphrase your first point, people eat meat because they enjoy it, and that's that. I'm curious what your source is for saying a vegetarian diet isn't optimal. Most studies I've seen (i

Is this a valid argument? You're right, consuming meat doesn't have to be related to factory farming. But consuming 220 pounds of meat, as far as I know, does.

I think your question is pretty theoretical, and the article explains why: the vast majority of animals are factory farmed. And, as far as I'm aware, it's impossible to satisfy current (and raising) demand any other way. I don&#x2

How can you be against cruelty to animals and still regularly consume meat? This question I ask sincerely. There are other equally ethical considerations: global warming, land use, energy/water use, etc. I feel that any one of these sh

To follow up with my own thoughts on what would help: the cost of plastic seems fully externalized. Companies that use plastic packaging should bear the brunt of the cost of recycling / disposing of plastic. Properly priced, we might s

The problem, which is largely what the article is about, is that what's recyclable depends on where you are. They'd have to create council-specific packaging. I'm far left on this issue, but that seems like an unrealistic bur

Civilians decide the budget (for the DoD and other agencies such as the VA) and when/where to go to war, right? But you're right and I was wrong. The problem isn't only that politicians / civilians have usurped "sup
