Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

96% of Americans apparently don't have an issue with killing and eating a living thing. Or paying someone else to kill a living thing so you can eat it. Or paying someone to pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to kill a living thing so you can eat it.
There will come a generation who have grown up knowing that meat eating without consent is wrong, and they will look at carnists the way we look at old timey slavers.
I don’t see the problem there. Humans are omnivores.
This is such a first world view.
There’s currently no sustainable and/or affordable way for the average person to obtain all the nutrients they need from just plants. Palm oil or maize drive deforestation in a large percentage, and most people outside of developed countries have a hard time supplementing their diet without meat.
Plants take less land than animals, because animals are made out of plants. With animals, you have to grow the plants to feed them, and then grow the animals. Veganity is more efficient
We evolved to eat animals because they've done the work of processing the plants, which we're unable to do efficiently. So it's rather the opposite.
Look at the difference in bioavailability of heme iron vs trying to get iron from spinach or some other green leafy vegetables. We don't have to consider further confounders such as antinutrients since it just worsens the comparison.
These days we can just dig iron out of the ground, use it to make pots, and cook our veggies in the pots to get iron. We don't need animals anymore.
I see that you've not looked up what I've said at all. Have a good day.
This is painfully naive and inaccurate.
Following this reasoning, we should all be eating insects because, without them, most plants wouldn’t exist.
..but they have a problem with taking your own insufferable life or with abortion.
Sadly your optimistic view is very unlikely to happen. The world is getting dumber and dumber by the day. And considering this chart, I'd bet many muricans don't even know what meat is or where it comes from. Or even have time pondering about the morality of it while juggling 3 jobs to survive crippling medical debt.
