Ok, so there is a cost to eating meat (beyond the price tag) and some people love meat so much, it's worth the cost. You don't think there is a chance that the hidden cost is actually much worse than meat eaters think? That, given the true cost, not even the most meat-loving person would eat meat?

I dont' think the true cost is high enough to warrant all meat-eating bad, but substantially worse than most meat eaters think.

I disagree. I think many animals (and people, for that matter) ought not to have been born.

That's because you're adding other details. Assuming a person or animal contributed to society an equal amount to its cost to society, would living a non-suffering, short-lived existence still be worse than no existence at all?
