    Final thought: the best way to decrease meat consumption is to make the alternatives easy to prepare and alluring to more of the population.

    I learned long ago that ethics won’t win out. It comes down to cost and convenience. Alternatives need to be cheap and easy.

      Alternatives need to be cheap and easy.

      I agree. We’ve created quite the fast paced and frantic society. A cheap an easy alternative could shift our consumption if we scale it properly. I’d argue it should be a primary focus of anyone passionately against factory farming. We can worry about moral messages as an aside: busy, poor, and hungry families will respond better to successfully launched vegetarian and vegan fast food options at existing establishments. We’re not culturally there yet.
