Not really, but this tends to happen for the sake of being cruel (people tend for the best part not to eat cats or dogs (or pets)), Food animals primarily are mistreated, but it is not done for the sheer sake of cruelty (finance is a big part of it, as is growing enought meat for the demand).

I tried reading the link but it is too in depth to warrant the time. But it did notice this...

'Note that the number of calories is the same for both diets because the vegetarian foods consumed were proportionately increased to make sure that both diets contained the same number of calories'

Which seems to agree with my 'assumption' that 'meat has a higher calorific content', so your blanket statement of 'Your assumptions are wrong on every account:' is incorrect. IMO.

I tend to eat meat about once a month. Usually a Big Mac or similar.
