not sure what you're referring to in terms of health impacts to society regarding corporate farming - food is significantly more readily accessible and cheaper (and partially unhealthier) than at any point in history. a lot of the responsibility for that comes down to factory farming.
morality wise? free roaming/uncaged/whatever animals are still going to be killed in great numbers so that we can eat. people have been killing and eating other animals since before humanity evolved from Homo Erectus. the "quality of life" question is rather meaningless, animals that exist in the food supply chain were literally born so they could be turned into food. it's criminally inefficient and not economically viable to raise 10 cows (or pigs or whatever) in the same space where you can raise 40. vertical integration will be the next big milestone, and it'll be a big win for everyone involved.
The way you rationalize all of this is just gross, not sorry.
lol. not rationalization, just the cold hard truth.
And if someone bred humans to be slaves, these would be meant to be slaves, so it would actually be moral to keep them as slaves.
Solid logic. Abolishion was a mistake, guys!
You've convinced me.
Chattel slavery is moral, as long as we start with clones.
If they never know freedom, and they're private property bred for the sole purpose of being slaves, it's moral.
Do you want to start the change.org petition, or should I?
