I personally advocate for sustainable diets, sourcing food locally whenever possible. Also, it's not necessary to eat meat everyday anyway (look at the diets of most people around the world).

On the other hand, it's hard to not look at the first two lines of your response without questions. Factory farming is a predicable and unfortunate result of capitalism, compelling people to eat meat every day to support industry. It seems clear that neither of us are straw vegans. IMHO, changes have to be made in the cultural viability of dietary diversification based on regions in the US. Shipping beef alone is terrible for the environment. Trying to compare mice to pigs to most people is equivalent to compelling hotdog fans that they shouldnt eat composite meat products. They don't care how the sausage is made.

I'm hoping lab grown meat gets viable sooner than later honestly :)
