Where is it confused/hysterical when it comes to eating meat? The only part that seems to fit that description is:
To one who was forced to endure both the pleasures of meat and the suffering it causes, veganism would seem obviously obligatory, and vegan histrionics about factory farming would seem, if anything, understated.
I suppose there are also the parts that encourage you to imagine what the process of obtaining the meat you’re eating looks like, which frankly seems valid in context? i.e. you should be aware of what is the cost of the things you utilise.
You could say that the article could be more explicit that the criticisms of eating meat apply to factory farmed meat, but seeing as the article also claims that 99% of meat is factory farmed, this seems like a valid assumption to make?
I understand frustration with mixing “factory farming is bad so avoid it” with “killing animals is bad so don’t eat meat”, but this article does a good job of avoiding that, focusing on the factory aspect and suffering, not the death part. All the examples are about suffering, not eating meat.
I might have confused this post with another of his, he actually did an ok job here.
The “mechanized mass murder” and the call to action to stop paying for the “murder of more animals” do make the article seem much less serious and a bit confused.
Killing millions of animals is a positive that people are happy to pay for so they can eat those animals.
Torturing those same animals makes people unconfortabke
