Agreed. Some vegans/vegetarians don't want their food labelled meat either.

However please don't compare the modern industrial meat production with anything like farming from, say, 500 years ago, or with ancient hunting. Modern meat production is brutal (for necessary cost reasons) and hugely destructive to the environment.

There are still sustainable farms, and you can of course encourage more of it by buying your meat from those.
Sure there are, but we don't have enough surface area on this planet to replace industrial meat production with sustainable farms without a vast decrease in output.
The price should go up according to the limited supply. That would naturally deflate demand and allow producers to invest in better processes.
Please look into these modern industrial plant processing and production for vegans, vegetarians.

They will be much better off eating good quality meats from reputable sources.
