I still eat meat, but I'm aware of the meat industry. I would love if we could thrive on lab-grown meat (where we are only killing cells) rather than the current (killing animals). Now that we're no longer eating animals purely for survival, we shouldn't be taking advantage of lesser beings.
Imagine if aliens came to earth and harvested us for food. We can beg and plead, but to the alien minds, who are much more intelligent to us, they interpret our cries as joy.
- Why do you still eat meat?
  
  cognitive dissonance
  
  I cant cut it out of my diet cold turkey. As kids, we are given food and told to eat it. Also, we dont yet have enough vegetarian options that satisfy the same needs.
  In another life, I'd be a vegetarian. I think farming milk and eggs (but not with industrial level abuse) is fine.

In fairness, cows taste better than cats, whose meat just doesn't have enough fat. You need to season the hell out of cat to get it to get it to be flavorful at all.
- There's also a lot more meat per cow. From a "lesser harm" point of view, more cats would suffer and die to provide the same amount of meat.
  
  So. In this logic, blue whale is the ideal "for meat" animal?

Cows are fucking delicious
Cats, not so much, and the meat to difficulty of harvest ratio is all wrong
Killing cows ftw 😁
