I thought there was an inconsistency too, glad you guys mentioned something similar to it i.e. people think governments are morally required to implement policies that will have significant costs for its citizens to prevent coronavirus deaths but not the same to prevent poverty-related diseases, even if the latter are far greater and less-costly to prevent. Great vid! Look forward to the next one!

Do you think we are the people of this existing world can survive without factory farming? I think natural/organic production isn't sufficient for us now

Reaz Morshed - good point. We in the west happily tear ourselves apart over our perceived racism towards the third world but then we advocate eliminating a form of food production that feeds millions in that same world. Odd!

No, you're not thinking, a few will support grass-feeding and/or hops feeding in animals and they will be fine, the rest will be provided for as they tow the line on filling themselves full of junk. I studied Peter Singer's books and isn't he some sort of act utilitarian or have I got it wrong, I thought he wore sandals and supported attacks on research labs anyway, which I don't condone.

Food production, and what we eat, will change with time. It already is. Many people and scientists are looking at solutions. Whether you eat wild-animals, or factory farm, it is all unsustainable, unless you want to come upon the virus or bacteria that will kill most of us, and that will take care of the human overpopulation, and its encroachment of the planet, and everything in it. Apparently, there are as many viruses as there are stars in the sky. If we don't change our behavior, nature will change it for us.

@@daviddean707 Singer is not against animal research, at least under typical circumstances. Indeed other animal right's activists have criticized him for what they view as a stance that is too permissive. "If you read what Peter Singer has been writing for 30 years now, it is absolutely clear that he regards the use of nonhumans-and humans-in vivisection as morally permissible. Indeed, Singer explicitly rejects animal rights and the abolition of animal exploitation; he does not regard eating animals or animal products as per se morally wrong; he maintains we can be 'conscientious omnivores'. . ."

PS gives you a lot to think about. Please see the NPR interview on HiddenBrain, which delves into whether the Ends justify the Means, and "what it means to treat all Suffering Equally".

Thinking Out Loud has been the name of a show by Jeffrey Mishlove for years. Come up with something a little more original please.
