I agree, there's many problems in the world that need to be fixed. Food should be more sustainable. We should make smarter, more conscientious choices behind how we choose our food. I don't see why being plant based, a more sustainable and ultimately less cruel way of consuming food, should be rejected because there's cruelty to how we grow crops like quinoa. The amount of grain we feed to livestock would be enough to feed 800 million people -- we would consume less objectively if we were a plant based society.

The more I read this comment, the less I understand it. Following your train of thought, there'd be LESS people enduring that misery and LESS strain on the world's environments if we ate less meat -- we would need less land to grow mankind's food, and would require less imports from third world countries in doing so.

less cruel to whom? I made it very clear that for me, your plant based, "more sustainable" way of consuming cause misery to lots of human-beings, and for me this is more vile and cruel than raise animals to eat nutritious and healthy food.
