I just ask myself:

Veganism is a lifestyle to demonstrate the fact, that we can live and strive without harming or making use of animals. This has prooven positive impacts regarding virus and bacteria mutation. It has prooven positive impact on greenhouse gass emitions. It has a great moral basis, to less violence.

What is the deeper meaning of someone who promotes eating meat? I understand that many people like meat a lot. I like it too. But this does not change the facts of that it is a violent procedure to produce it. No matter in which manner.

Are you saying that pesticides and the plowing of small animals into crop fields is not violent and therefore morally superior to animal husbandry?

I think what he’s saying is those people who choose to not eat meat contribute less animals being killed than those who choose to eat meat. There is therefore a feasible moral high ground for them to take.

Compare this to people promoting eating more meat. I don’t see a reasonable moral argument for this and because of that it ‘feels’ a bit like an F you to those people who are choosing to not eat meat.

I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, I eat meat, but this is how I perceive the current diet landscape in which this ‘carnivore’ diet seems to be trending up.

Don't forget the pesticides and plowing of small animals to grow grain to feed antibiotic fattened livestock.

Regenerative farming satisfies the needs of the vegetarian, herbivores and carnivores.

Ranching, conventional or regenerative, is incompatible with wildlife. Meat production requires deforestation, fencing and predator extermination to protect grazers from harm so that they can be profitably sold.

"To protect their cows from predators and disease, or simply to ensure that they have access to food and water, ranchers across the country have supported wolf hunts, vulture and wild horse culls, and the deployment of cyanide bombs." - The Myth of Regenerative Cattle Grazing | The New Republic

"It is difficult to count the number of wild animals killed in the service of ranching interests by government bodies [...], but about a million animals per year is the federal government’s own estimate." - The Myth of Regenerative Cattle Grazing | The New Republic

There are also the other wildlife death cause by the destruction of the habitat, reduction of food and water sources, and pollution caused by meat production.

White Oak Pastures grazing methods require 2.5 times more land than conventional meat production. More regenerative meat means less wildlife.

To answer your question, meat production is way worst than plant production when it comes to violence and death to animals. Meat production also negatively impact wildlife and ecosystems' heath and diversity.

So yes, plant production is superior.

isn't great that you have support for your beliefs. it is what it is, more prey, less predators, more humans.

Not beliefs, just facts.
