You cannot treat a commodified individual "better" - it is only possible to euphemize such a logical fallacy.

So there's no point in pushing for pasture raised, and it's either all or nothing ?

I think incremental progress is possible. I think rolling back and gag laws would make a positive difference in animal welfare because people would be able to film and show how bad conditions are inside.

I think that's worth pushing for. And it's more realistic than everyone stopping eating meat all at once.

    The economics of what you describe are impossible. The entire concept of an idyllic pasture is actual industry propaganda which is not based in objective reality.

      I think getting everyone around me to stop eating meat is not based in objective reality.

      If we had better animal welfare laws and meat became prohibitively expensive, I would be absolutely fine with that.

      I think incremental progress is possible. We shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.
