    I thought you were talking about environmental impact? Both cow milk and cow meat have a worse environmental footprint than chicken meat.

      My point is: ethics should not be confused with a single dimension of ethics. Whether something I’d ethical, depends on your beliefs.

      Simultaneously, if animal welfare is all we optimize for, vegetarianism is a step forward. And indeed, so is pollotarianism when optimizing for just environmental impact. Perfect is the enemy of good.
