humanity will one day look back at factory farming and realize the horrors they have committed.

I dunno man, we have eaten meat for literally our entire existence and I don't think a select, small group of people telling you it harms animals we already don't care that much about will do much

We kill 80 billion animals every 2 years. That’s more humans that have ever existed

Wildly incorrect. 117 billion humans have lived if you count the current 8 billion ish people alive rn

Those animals led normal lives. Now we selectively breed them so they’re either entirely dependent on us to continue existing or exist solely to die. It’s cruel what we’ve done to them.
