    How would we do that without dramatically reducing the amount of meat being produced?

    As for the support, it sounds like you are blaming vegans for factory farmers actions. If they want to do things more humanely they are free to do it.

    Its a waste of time in my opinion, and its hypocritical to be an animal activist who eats animals.

    We can have a conversation about the ethical slaughterhouse in your mind but I guarantee you we will not agree on what is ethical treatment of an animal if thats the case.

      maybe you can’t, but it seems like you think that would be a good outcome.

          i didn’t say there is anything wrong with it. and if their plan (increased welfare standards) leads to that, i would think you would support it.

            Well, one plan involves convincing western politicians and the companies that pay for them, to self regulate. The other involves personal choice.

            So I guess I chose the easy one.

            Also vegans do participate in animal activism of course. They just won’t argue for better ways to slaughter animals.

                Well, your graph could just as easily support my position as it could go against it.

                I see a line that could be higher if not for the personal choice of a collective of vegans, vegetarians, and generally healthier people.

                You see proof vegans aren’t making a difference. Where’s your proof that the line is unaffected by vegans? Do you have anything else that proves being vegan is an effort in futility?

                  no, it’ can’t. this is an unscientific claim.

                  i’ve never said that. i think if you want to avoid animal products, then doing so is its own reward. but if you want to decrease animal slaughter, it’s ineffective.

                  i suggest that you go where animals are being slaughtered and stop it.

                  you can’t prove a counterfactual. but it is a fact that vegans exist, and the chart continues to rise.
