I like how burgers taste, so I want to eat them. But I don't want an animal to experience horrific treatment and slaughter just for the taste, so I seek it out in plants. That makes sense, no? I can like the salty, fat taste but opt-out of the subjugation and slaughter of another being.

You like the taste of a dead animal but don't want horrific treatment?

Why not buy your meat from a smaller farm. It sounds like you don't like factory farming. Not all meat is made that way.

Yes.

This is true! I think it's awful. I also don't like animals dying at all for my food. Factory farming or otherwise.

I’m exactly like you, I love the taste of meat and I love animals. Whenever it is an option I choose beyond/impossible meat. That means virtually no one has to die for me that day.

I think that’s really cool, and I appreciate then “whenever it is an option” but. It’s so easy to see it as a black and white issue rather than a continuum where small actions make a large impact. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

What happens to the animals if all meat becomes beyond?
