This doesn't even mention about the environmental impacts of the meat industry. The problem with meat is not just about the animal welfare, but also of the un-sustainable demands of meat industry on the environment. The logic of this article only makes sense if someone's objective of going vegan is to increase the sum-total of animal happiness in a pure mathematical sense. Even then, increasing happiness of 350 animals while eating 105 animals sourced otherwise is absurd.
