This makes it sound like plant based diets are much crueler than they make out to be - but that harm is surely still an order of magnitude reduced compared to farming animals?

One is collateral damage (mice sucked up etc.) but the other is _premised_ on death.

Probably true if you compare it to conventional cattle farming, as they're largely fed corn from fields.

I suspect pasture raised, grass fed animals have a vastly lower deaths-per-bite count than a veggie burger, though. I don't know that I subscribe to the "accidental deaths matter less" argument, either.
