As a whole. That's what I'm talking about. There's not
enough of your grass fed beef to supply the full demand
for beef. That's where the rest of the industry comes in,
factory farming beef, pork, poultry, eggs, dairy... There
is a high demand for these products.

If all meat eaters turned to hunted meat and grass
fed beef, the hunted would become extinct. The
demand for meat is too high. Also, there would
be people still demanding pork and poultry.

Even if some uncommon meats are somewhat lower in cds
I still don't like the idea of eating dead body parts. I think I
can speak for most vegan/vegetarians on that matter. Eating
dead bodies is just not an option. The idea is quite repulsive.
There are always vegan alternatives, some with 0 deaths,
whereas meat will always have a minimum of 1.
