Slaves mined the metals used to make the device you typed that on. You cannot get the moral high ground when your (and my) entire privileged world exists due to the exploitation of everyone that doesn't exist in it.
I wouldn't call being forced to eat beans as my sole source of protein an improvement on society.
that sounds like a you problem given the alternative is a system that needlessly kills millions of animals every day.
It's not needless because it literally puts food on my table. Tasty food with a high calorie density.
animal ag is far more inefficient in terms of calories, and if you think vegan food isn't tasty, expand your diet beyond chicken nuggets (or try vegan nuggets which are also tasty)
