That isn’t rational - supporting large scale animal agriculture which has been scientifically shown requires more resources and creates more environmental damage than a plant based food systems which are more sustainable.
Why would choose something that creates more damage just because it tastes delicious. Why not choose something else that is delicious but gentler to the environment and doesn’t require animals to suffer?
Why is it ok to enslave, be cruel and kill a cow just for mouth pleasure, when most of us don’t need to eat animals anymore to survive?
If more ppl would be completely or mostly plant based our current population would be more sustainable.
