Explanation:
Thanksgiving arrives every year with a heated debate over how to best cook that plump and juicy turkey. But the idea of a tofu turkey (also known as a “tofurkey”) has gone from a joke a couple years ago to a reality for many. While vegetarianism has been practiced for over a thousand years in some countries, it is a relatively new concept in the West. And so, with the question cropping up more and more often, should we eat meat?

The Meat Delusion
I think your whole argument is summed up in your dozen apples vs a slice of bacon comparison. It is dishonest and laughable. You can't grow just one slice of bacon and the amount of resources it takes to raise a pig, slaughter it and transport him or her to a market or restaurant is much more damaging to the environment than even 100 apples. The only thing more damaging is this argument you've laid out about eating meat here.
