It's a loaded subject in general. It should be loaded for everyone, but people don't tend to know or at least comprehend the truth behind their food. And for the most part they just don't want to: "Oh, don't tell me, you'll put me off my food!" Such a humane way to treat knowledge isn't it?

What's the difference between taking a human life and a farm animal life? Do you believe that it's more ethical to take the life of a pig over a dog?
Debatable; for instance, 9 kg of feed per 1 kg of beef.

The land used for feed could be used for other crops that could sustain necessary protein. Not suggesting vegetarian diet so much as less meat-based diet.
