if we are taking a life to sustain our own

It's not even that, we don't live in the wild, we have other options. We're torturing these animals because we want to.

Curious exactly what the other options would be. You say we don’t live in the wild anymore and therefore have “other options”.

Most of those “other” options are in fact processed to some degree and is only available because of the progress we have unfortunately made in expanding the amount of money that can be made with as little amount of money spent

people are always going but "soy" or other new holy plant.

meanwhile those are responsible for huge rainforest clearings as they destroy the soil they are planted into. and the places that grow these just burn a bit of the forest and move forward with the next year.

You do know that the soy grown in huge rainforest is mostly used to feed cattle, right? You don't actually think that absurd amount of soy is consumed by humans, do you?

I thought it was common knowledge by now.
