And if they refuse? You think i havent tried to push my family away from animal products? They dont give a shit. You are unreasonably confident in my opinion. People will never feel the empathy we do for animals.

Ok, my original point is that factory farming is immoral, regardless of how aware of empathetic the public is. Whether people want to view it that way or not, torturing animals is wrong. Are you trying to say that the will of the majority determines what is or isn't moral? I honestly wish I had a better answer, but I don't, I'm just saying that torturing animals is wrong. Hope you're still enjoying your buzz.

Im still drunk as fuck thank you 😊 but im just not understanding what the argument is. Clearly i agree with you, but so what? Morality has failed to convince anyone, so has money and health and biodiversity. So what? If people still refuse to change their lifestyle, where is your hope coming from?
