One point I think I see missing from this discussion is about congruency. Steve mentions in his podcast that you can't deny the state of reality that you currently are perceiving.

Whether or not veganism is the answer I think you have to first look at the question of factory farming and decide if factory farming is really congruent with your beliefs and ideals. Go to themeatrix.com, veganoutreach.org or peta.com and learn a little about factory farming. This is what is happening right now in your current reality...you wouldn't have come across this information any other way. So form your answers on subjective reality from an informed, conscious perspective and then decide what your best response will be. Maybe it's you'll find that it's eating organic, going vegan, or doing nothing at all, but you can't skip the step of informing yourself on the subject matter and fully understanding what you are currently getting from the universe before you choose a response to it. A state of blissful ignorance simply won't get you the results you seek (like the hypothetical child who believes that meat is good for them). That child does't exist...you do and you have to form your reality on the information that you are getting from the universe.
