It turns out that even this point is arguable, depending on which animals
"count" -- see

(personally, I think it's a bit iffy given what happens in a
slaughterhouse -vs- under a harvester, but it's an interesting point from a
purely numerical point of view)

Fuzzy math to argue a point. No need to reply as this will spiral to
pointless arguments soon :-) But even considering his math, cows/pigs/etc.
eat vegetables so any animal dies during growing of vegetables should be
counted toward feeding such animals. Not to mention better farming
techniques etc. but this is a rathole.
For the record, I am not a vegan. I don't eat a whole lot of meat, and
almost never beef/pork, but that's just my choice. No need to argue about it.
