A pretty good argument for eating meat is that it's basically proven vegans etc in practice can't sustain B12 levels. There is just too much "doing it wrong".
In a darwinist way our food animals are actually succeeding beyond belief to become the most successful species on the planet ever, it's not a bad faustian pact as a species.
There isn't a lot of pain involved in free range animals being humanely slaughtered. Fuck we kill our animals better than we kill our humans. Granny Baggins has to die slowly in pain over 6 months from bowel cancer but billy the goat gets a bolt through the brain. Go billy.
I don't really see any ethical issues with food production so long as the animals are free range, grass (or otherwise) fed and humanely killed, they're generally winning over their wild counterparts and outperforming in a context of most other species getting nearer and nearer extinction.
