What do you answer?

I don't know whether a lot of the Philosophy I read anymore really is a pursuit of knowledge or just enjoyable things to belief.

Why do most vegans decry this and not realize that the alternative to the supposed cruelty of industrial food production is the death of billions of humans and consequent death of billions and billions of livestock if the system collapsed? Many balk at this, while the rest tend to offer the "solution" of increased intensive farming to give everyone their own Cruelty Free™ onions bean based diet (ignoring what to do with the livestock if they're not to be eaten [mass sterilization and a cushioned death?]) which would lead to global desertification in a generation or less.

The few that accept the mass deaths of humans and animals resulting in the breakdown of civilization don't seem to realize that their vegan lifestyle would hence be unsustainable in the fallout world.
