I agree. Encouraging more pork consumption when pigs are one of the more resource intensive AND emotionally aware/sentient/social animals seems like a poor decision in the light of climate change and animal cruelty.

Profit motives will always pose a problem for consuming heavily processed foods, which is what you're really advocating for here.

Fruits and vegetables are tasty already, especially when farmed organically in healthy lands. There's zero need to try process it into meat substitutes, and if you require that level of processing you're going to have to accept the negative health outcomes.

More humane farming is one thing. Trying to replicate or replace nature with processed garbage has had some pretty horrible effects on human health.
