One form of harm does not excuse the other. We all have to make some effort on multiple fronts if we want the future to be brighter. Besides, it's easier to survive as a vegetarian than without technology in modern society.

Brighter according to whom? By what standard? Is this a dietary restriction you would enforce on other through violence, or by some other authoritarian means?

Well hopefully the democratic process can help us find a decent standard. No violence or authoritarianism required.

Thing is I could make efforts on all fronts except for eating meat every now and then and you guys would still be mad even if I made more effort then you everywhere else.
