does the vegan movement talk about running non-factory farms that sell animal products which are subsidized so they are priced competitively with factory farm products?
I would guess it’d be much less cost-effective than lobbying for welfare reforms and such.
it doesn’t seem like it should matter whether the premium is paid by the customer or by some random person who wants to convert dollars in to reduced suffering.
If the altruist spends her money on this, she has less left over to spend on other things. In contrast, most consumers won’t spend their savings on highly altruistic causes.

I suppose this cost-effectiveness difference could be seen as a crude way to measure how close we are to the pure Moloch type scenario?
I agree my proposal would probably not make sense for anyone reading this forum. It was more of theoretical interest. It’s not clear whether equivalent actions exist for other Moloch type scenarios.
