AYRT—I’ve been vegetarian for 23 years. But I guarantee that someone who ate a moderate amount of pasture-raised lean meat and eggs every day alongside beans and whole grains and lots of veggies and fruit with maybe some dairy would do way better than I do, health wise, especially if they exercised. I don’t exercise enough and I’m too fond of junk food. Vegan and vegetarian diets aren’t automatically healthier than omnivorous diets.

The quantity of meat people eat and the shitty (often literally) diet and living conditions of the animals raised for it, plus the shitty overall diet and lack of exercise of the people eating it, are bigger problems than people eating meat at all. 1 serving of meat is supposed to be something like 4 oz—half a cup or the size of a deck of playing cards. In the average steakhouse restaurant, that’s the kids’ menu option. Americans eat too much crappy meat.

DA but that's the point exactly. You can be totally healthy eating meat, but most people eat such poor quality meat and other animal products in such obscenely high quantities that they'd probably be better off not eating any at all. Of course, there will always be people who say that they only eat organic grass-fed hormone-free pasture-raised lean meat and eggs, but how many people ONLY eat expensive animal products all the time or even most of the time? And how sustainable would that be if every person ate only "a moderate amount" of these higher quality products? The reason why factory farming is so awful isn't because humans want animals to suffer, it's because more humane methods aren't as economical and potentially would not be able to keep up with the demand.

Plus animal agriculture is destroying the planet, which is bad for everyone's health.
