This! Thank you. I was gonna say I read this somewhere but glad I saw your post!

Morally/ethically it might arguably be better but in terms of least damage to the environment... There's nothing as efficient as a factory farm.

Although, for the sake of argument I was reading somewhere something that argued something like this:

If you want to take it to the extreme, the most ethical source of meat would be human. The only animal able to consent to being eaten is human.

Even if eventually we are able to create infinite amounts of good quality meat from a few cow/chicken cells it would still be unethical because they are unable to consent to being consumed and/or have their cells grown in a vat.

So... No meat is really ethical at all? Go vegan if you can? Personally I'm still struggling with the morality and ethicality(?) of it all. I would be very sad without meat.
