Ah for God's sake. I am an inveterate carnivore, but every day I learn how badly we torture animals in the name of mass production. I certainly dislike buying meat and fish from a supermarket, instead of the small family farms I usually get it from.

I believe you should buy the most ethically raised/sourced meat you can afford and to not judge those who can’t afford the price of such high standards for raising livestock.
There was no judgment towards the meat buyer in my comment at all. The issue I have is with big factory farming, optimising for cost over every other metric.
Access to healthy and ethical food consumption does have a economic/class line drawn around it but that doesn't mean that a person who is decrying what should be considered substandard sourcing and production of food is mocking the plight of those who can't afford it (and often don't even have access to it).

At least there's that.
