I think getting everyone around me to stop eating meat is not based in objective reality.

If we had better animal welfare laws and meat became prohibitively expensive, I would be absolutely fine with that.

I think incremental progress is possible. We shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.

People will eventually stop eating meat because it is unsustainable, but unfortunately not without causing a great deal of suffering first, and your comment is an example of why this process is unnecessarily prolonged. It is clear you have not done much research on actual animal welfare based on your "pasture" argument alone. I am even willing to bet you think humans currently outnumber animals, when the reality is so much more troubling.
