It’s remarkable that we’ve setup a system of torture and murder to achieve: 1. Production of food that from all available evidence is worse for humans than alternatives 2. Worsening of our greenhouse gas problem 3. Massive waste of land resources because of the inefficiency in having animals predigest plants for us 4. Massively increase the risk of spread of novel pathogens 5. Devastation of our antibiotics stock where over 80% of antibiotics are used on animals rather than humans

All these downsides (and more) for little to no upsides.
