Watch Food Inc. and you'll realize how ****ed up the food industry has become in the past years. There's nothing I can really do about it, and I still eat meat. It's the only way the food industry can keep up with demands now though, we don't have enough land or resources to farm the normal way and still feed an increasing population. The real problem here is not food industry practices, but the much larger issue of overpopulation. Increasing food supply in response to starvation results in an increased population, ergo more starvation.
