The way I see it, we've exited the food chain. We systematically breed and "process" animals for consumption in astounding numbers. Also meat makes up a much larger proportion of the modern American diet than it did for our early ancestors.

I don't understand how "exiting the food chain" is possible when we still eat other living things. How do you mean that?

Also- what does amount have to do with ethics? If it is unethical to eat meat then it is unethical to eat any meat at all.

Is your comment only about the ethics of meat eating in America (I think you mean the US)? The rest of the world also eats plenty of meat.
