How about "eat no meat regardless of nutritional value (unless absolutely necessary) because it's unethical to do so"?

There is nothing unethical about eating meat.

Now, the factory farming methods you see and the treatment of the animals being raised for meat, is definitely unethical.

Unethical for whom? It's not like ethics is universal.
I'd say unethical for everyone.

This isn't even just an "animal rights" debate. It's also a debate about the impact that eating meat has on the environment.

There's way too many "eat less meat" articles to list, but here's one: https://time.com/5648082/un-climate-report-less-meat/

Sure, it's a bit of a jump from "eat less meat" to "eat no meat", but the trend is there.

how about instead of eat less meat, eat less shitty meat and cook more? in all likelihood, you'll save money and feel better.
Because it is not objectively unethical.
Nothing is "objectively unethical". That doesn't mean conversations about ethics can't and don't take place.
