Good grief, willful blindness personified!  A plant-based diet does no harm to either animals or the planet. We are so brainwashed by commercial entities that we cling to our consumption habits and defend them with uneducated exuberance. We must think for ourselves, analyze the data, look inwards to our own health and sense of ethical decency.  Why support the harm of factory farming & its practices when we can eat deliciously, healthily and economically by choosing vegan options as much as possible? 
Good on you, all you animal rights activists - please persevere and continue working towards changing both the law and our thinking when it comes to food choices.
