Because if I want to actually address the issues the food industry does to the environment, I would be a self-sustaining farmer on my own land with the rest of the bullshit that goes into it.

Being vegan doesn't suddenly make you better than an omnivorous, average American. Mass-scale farming isn't good for the topsoil, it takes away from the wildlife that already isn't in human captivity. If it isn't affecting the wildlife it's affecting third world, poor ass people. Cashew processing is fucked.
What I don't understand is how vegans have the money to eat how they eat and want to act as if they're providing a "service" to the environment and the planet, when it's healthier and in some ways easier to just have a backyard farm. If I have chickens I'm taking care of, I know exactly where I'm getting my eggs, let alone I know how well my chickens would be taken care for. If I raised a pig and slaughtered it for meat, while to some fags they find it cruel, in my eyes it's more ethical than just giving my money over to the meat industry. If I slaughter my own livestock, not only am I eating *my* money, but I'm able to pay better respects to the animal in general because I took care of it.
