This is the epitome of projection, FYI. All this wasted energy and impotent vitriol, railing against a non-existent evil ("the vegan industry?" seriously sad), defending the (actually malignant) status quo for free. It's exhausting feeling so sorry for you

What status quo? Lol the majority of your food comes from small farms, not these mega corps that everyone seems to think exist. Farming is a fuck ton of work for little reward, it's why most younger people are selling their parents farms vs taking over the business.

Accept that you're misinformed or deliberately misleading. There are no other options, sorry. "Family farms" are simply operators of big agriculture's bidding, the latter having complete regulatory and market capture.

"Only four corporations—ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Dreyfus—control more than 75 percent of the global grain trade. They overwhelmingly push commodity crops like corn and soy on local farmers at the expense of native crops."

"the vast majority of cows in the United States live on factory farms. Factory farms depend on cheap and unsustainable animal feed, such as corn and soy, to maximize profits at the expense of animal welfare."

"Factory farms now account for 72 percent of poultry production, 43 percent of egg production, and 55 percent of pork production worldwide."

No they do not. What source are you trying to quote here?

https://www.usfarmdata.com/percentage-of-small-medium-and-large-farms-in-the-us

Family farms continue to play a significant role in U.S. agriculture. In 2015, family farms accounted for 99 percent of all U.S. farms and 89 percent of production.

You're sources are %100 wrong. The majority of our food comes from family farms. They sell back to the large farms for slaughter or processing a lot of the times, but those operations do not rear or grow the majority of our food.

So please inform yourself because you're just spewing more vegan bullshit data.

Some more data for you...

That's a quote from the comment you didn't read..

I did read it and then completely proved you're comment wrong with actual sources to back up what I'm saying, something you completely didn't do
