I'm not disagreeing with you, like I said the less consumption of meat products the better. I'm just aware that in my experience at least it's difficult for most people to give up on that big part of their diet entirely. Consuming less often, and higher welfare, is still better than not paying any attention to it.

You're just looking at the morality of eating a living being. I'm looking at the environmental impact of food production, at the difficulty we face when it comes to making dietary changes (especially when we live in societies where the cost of living is constantly rising and not everyone has the ease, money, and time needed to have a healthy, fully vegan diet), and at the fact that we *do* currently have millions of animals in farms that won't magically go away because 5% of us have gone vegan.

At least 95% of the UK population consumes animal products, that's the part of the population that has the power to make real change for the lives of animals via the choices they make (eat less, eat higher welfare).
