  What makes you think that processing food through an animal is healthier than through a factory?

  You have to compare the actual nutrients contained in the product to draw any conclusion about health effects, and the macros are fairly similar for the plant-based versions compared to a given meat product.

  The average person (in developed countries) eats significantly more meat than the recommended upper limit by nutrition organizations.

  If you just go by the naturalistic argument, you’d conclude that processed drinking water is worse than untreated water, and that vaccines are worse than “perfectly natural” diseases. It’s a common logical fallacy.

  To me that’s more ethical than killing of billions of animals, and the latter is considered ethical.

  I think most people would actually consider factory farming unethical, they just put the blame on the producers for treating animals like shit. And the producers are locked into a race to the bottom for competitive prices, so they’d blame the customers/market conditions.

  You’ve already made strides to avoid eating anything that may be processed in the same facility as animal products.

  But why? This would just make it much harder for (smaller) companies to bring vegan products to market.

  You largely eat whole ingredients that you buy and prepare personally. And you would probably never touch a pre-made meat substitute.

  Most vegans I know eat meat substitutes rather regularly.

  Eating a whole food diet is primarily motivated by health. Some vegans also try to be as healthy as possible, sure, but many don’t really care about that.

  Ethical veganism is about not financially supporting the commodification of animals, nothing more.

  Who kills a shitload of dogs? I think you replied to the wrong comment.

  Would you also consider it preachy when people criticize other cases of animal harm, like bullfighting or dog beating, or is it just the financing of factory farming that can’t be criticized? If so, why? It’s troublesome that people enforce a social stigma that you can’t talk about what we do to farm animals without suffering social consequences.
