Notes on eating meat and factory farming

I have thought about this reddit post on r/DataIsBeautiful a fair amount.

[OC] Visualization of livestock being slaughtered in the US. (2020 - Annual average) I first tried visualizing this with graphs and bars, but for me Minecraft showed the scale a lot better.

We can’t seriously think that we can kill billions of animals every year “because it tastes good” and never face any consequence, right?? Right? Also a difference in scale is a difference in kind; eating meat is different from eating meat every day with every meal for decades. The latter is probably rather new in history.

This random person on Reddit somehow captured in 1 minute what Peter Singer takes hundreds of pages to describe.
