Unfortunately it has to happen that way because so many don’t want to confront the cruelity their diet causes.
Individually, their diets don’t affect the volume of cruelty. This is a moralistic decision, not a consequential one. The volume of waste demonstrates as much. When we’re simply trashing 40% of our agricultural product, whether or not you eat the meat has no effect on if the cow is raised and slaughtered. All it affects is whether the meat goes in your mouth or in the trash.
Which isn’t an argument for or against veganism. But its trivial to reconcile the decision one way or another, knowing your consumer choices have no impact on whether these animals live or die.
