"Most" would be the key word. I'm a little confused? So just because MOST of the grain is consumed by animals means that you are justified to eat grains even though the processing kills animals?
Again, it is nearly impossible for one person to live in this world and not kill animals indirectly. It just isn't going to happen.

Animals for slaughter are eating nearly 80% of grains consumed -- therein lies the much larger problem than me chomping on my bread and passing on the steak.

No, with all do respect, I don't think you, or the collective of vedgies are making a difference. Frankly, the cows you didn't eat, were on the plate of your neighbour.
Sorry, but no, this is not true. My neighbor doesn't eat a steak whenever I don't, and neither do my parents, my brother, my friends, etc. When one person goes vegetarian, another does not start doubling their meat intake.



There are a lot of problems with the way our food is processed before it hits grocery stores, whether it be grains, fruits, vegetables, or meat. I do what I can to not support what I don't want to support while still trying to lead a healthy life for myself. If I had it my way, no, I would not support the killing of any animals. But I can't do that. I feel the meat industry and mass overpopulation of dogs and cats is the most crucial to address and this is why I am a vegetarian and a rescue volunteer.
