There are all sorts of ugly industrialized systems required to support our world of 8 billion people.
It's incredibly difficult to square them with how we want to perceive life. Your brain immediately wants to slip into a counterfactual fantasy, "Meat isn't required, we could all be vegetarian" etc.
I don't have an answer to it. Factory farming is a nightmare beyond most horror. It's hard enough to even make a list of all these ugly areas. I think the necessity of plastics is another, lesser example.
