Once again, the ideology of vegetarianism trumps reason and logic.
Nik Zacharias argues that we conscientious omnivores have no real long term solution to the problem of factory farming. The truth is our solution just doesn’t jibe with his ideology that states a “huge part of the problem is over-consumption and the ubiquitous nature of animal products.” This begs the question.
What were humans eating before modern agriculture? The answer is animals.
He even goes so far as to list all of the problems with vegetarianism from a socio-economic standpoint (including the potential for slave labor and unsustainability) and then dismisses them outright as a problem that can be solved in the future. This is the worst kind of apologetic! That the short term gain of vegetarianism is worth “animals [who] are also incidentally killed in crop agriculture,” “no guarantee that all our food choices will be sustainable or healthy,” and “sustainable and animal-free products could also involve the use of slave labor and terrible conditions for workers.”
But who cares? You vegetarians are, by definition, more conscientious than omnivores. People who eat meat never consider the ramifications of their consumption! We are blind and ignorant of our effects on the planet. Otherwise we wouldn’t be eating meat! QED
