I'm not buying it. These are all worthy goals, treat animals ethically, treat the environment soundly, treat the health of humans intelligently, but first truly study the issues and don't go for simplified answers with no scientific merit, just a lot of bias and holier than thou proselytizing.

Well stated, and when some linked eating meat from farm raised livestock to climate change, I thought it was the perfect storm of unsettled science and rampant bias.
