Sorry, you're right, by "the norm" I meant that the majority of meat etc consumed comes from factory farms.
I agree with you that setting unreasonable or unrealistic goals is problematic. Although I personally stick to a 99% vegan diet, I've never been an abolitionist and I think setting reasonable goals and working towards them within the system is probably more productive, such as Temple Grandin's work.
Pushing for legislation like this doesn't make me very sympathetic towards the industry though.
