Hehe, we like meat so much that we’re going to ignore the fact that it destroys the environment and continue farming and eating it like there is still a billion of us on this planet. Also, the prices must be low but i don’t care that living beings are raised in hellish conditions for our convenience. We made it illegal to record those conditions so we don’t have to look at them. Meat delicious, I deserve it three meals a day because look at my prosperity.

Yeah. It's the usual nonsense habits of people that they will defend to their dying breath

Thats what you get when you base your personality on what you eat.

You would think mutton would be more popular...

I know it's a cliché, but say this on Reddit and you'll be downvoted into oblivion. Tried it many times. Criticize meat and seemingly reasonable people suddenly start making the same circular arguments they usually mock.

People consider themselves good people and don't like thinking about the consequences of their actions.

Same happens when you point out that children lose their limbs for our smartphones. People aren't going to stop using their smartphones, aren't going to consider themselves bad people, and so will rationalize however they can.

It kills me how often I see people claim that it is the corporations that are driving climate change and that individuals can do nothing when going plant based would make a huge difference.

For anyone interested, here is a relevant documentary about how Earth is experiencing a sixth mass extinction event because of our actions like you mentioned.
