I need the people who bring up traditional/historic methods of meat production as a "gotcha" to veganism to understand that the times in human history they are referencing are when the population was less than one billion. The human population is expected to reach almost ten billion in the next 20 years. Our planet is finite. Do you really think the methods used to feed 500 million will work for 10 billion?

Even if they argue about “grass-fed, humane, small farm, allowed to roam around outside and eats well” or whatever other descriptors, the same would still apply.

"Vegans care more about animals than people" and non-vegans want 8 billion people to stop needing to eat so they personally don't have to give up cheese

Mabel Pines is vegan to me. She’s the “has existential crisis eating a hot dog” kind. She then starts to sob and Dipper tries to be all like “hey Mabel, it’s just the circle life.” And Mabel will wail “Then the circle of life suuuucks!! :(“ and she hugs Waddles crying “youre not food. Youre Waddles”, as she thinks about all the pigs with just as much personality as him being slaughtered.
