Based on the observation that most modern people have no idea where the meat or the vegetables come from. The packaged goods did the consumers from the o Production. Activist are using videos of production lines to promote their agenda.

The fact that activists are doing something does not mean that it’s effective or anyone cares.

People need food. If they don’t happen to know where it comes from they would figure it out with a quickness if it ever became necessary for them to learn.

I think you mistook my comment for an argument for vegetarianism. Are you involved in the “real men eat meat” culture war by any chance?

No, you don’t need to assign yourself to some particular group to have an opinion.

People need food but they don't have to eat factory produced meat that requires huge amounts of CO2 footprint and antibiotics that make our own human populations less resistant to bacteria.

Biologically we are carnivores but factory farming is leaving evidence for modern society to determine whether or not it's okay and it definitely gives me pause. People care. I think maybe you're just not caring.

Why do you write this? I don't control the food policy of the world and I wasn't arguing that people should be vegans.

Why people provide unsolicited arguments for eating meat? Why just don't you order a burger instead so we can stay on topic? I don't care who eats what.

> most modern people have no idea where the meat or the vegetables come from

Most modern people knows that meat comes from killed animals.

> Activist are using videos of production lines to promote their agenda.

The reason we don't like to watch that is the same reason we don't want to watch people take a shit, it isn't that we feel shitting is morally wrong its just not something we want to watch because it is gross.
