I'm happy our goals seem the same, but I'm still not convinced that we will minimize suffering by eating meat, considering what is today required to produce it. But I see your point and will certainly look into that. However, meat tastes great, and I know from introspection that there is a great temptation to just accept an argument if it will only allow me to have juicy steak... so I have my suspicions.
