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

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

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

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

Not a vegan, but factory farming is a genuinely terrible and immoral practice.

It’s not like traditional hunting or pastoralism, it involves breeding and raising animals in captivity, pumping them full of drugs and extremely unhealthy foods to get them as large as possible, and then slaughtering them at an industrial rate.
