It's a rabbit hole.

I'm not pointing fingers.

Plenty of horrible practices in the meat industry, as well. "Shake a ranchers hand."

Go to the source, if vegetable based diet us what you seek, go to the source.

Don't confuse eating animals as not respecting or loving them, I'd argue they're more loved and valued when we recognize the value they provide.

Good luck on your journey.

Thanks for the amicable conversation.
