Or maybe it's not. Speaking for myself, the type of food I eat is largely not a matter of right versus wrong. There are more and less healthy foods, but that only affects me personally. While I don't condone mistreatment of animals and agree that there's a lot of room for reform in that industry, I don't see where there's a moral issue with me eating them. We should focus on ensuring that animals are well taken care of before slaughter and are slaughtered humanely before we abandon meat altogether. Of course, then there'd be one less argument against meat eating. Maybe that's the stumbling block.
