> we shouldn't be eating as much meat as we do anyway.

This is not universally agreed, and sounds a bit like a modernized version of "let them eat cake."

Well, what is? I mean flat-earthers don't agree the world is round, should we take their objections seriously?

Except how am I Marie Antoinette?

I'm just trying to look on the bright side.

It sucks that those birds are going to live and die and go to waste. It sucks that the people working there are out of work. It sucks that the company is losing money. All of that sucks.

The best you can say is, well, it's a good excuse to try to eat healthier.

FWIW, my sister roasted two chickens just the other day and they were delicious. So don't think I'm not feeling the pain here. (Is little joke. Trying to end on upbeat note here. Work with me.)

The nutrition scientists all agree we could do fine with much less meat, and is some ways better.

On the other hand, the nutcases, back up by the meat industry, say present meat consumption rates are just fine.
