Thanks for the post, Kat. You are assuming that eating more animal-based foods decreases animal welfare, but I think it actually increases it due to effects on soil animals for my best guess these have negative lives. I am very uncertain about this. However, it is at least clear to me that eating more animal-based foods increases animal suffering if it increases agricultural land, and animal-based product generally require more agricultural land. The decrease in the living time of wild animals is way larger than the increase in the living time of farmed animals. I would be curious to know your thoughts on this.
