Is it better to kill fewer animals for food? Beyond PETA concerns we have economic impact on food industry, its communities, and those that support it. The evolve-or-die card is always available, but look at what happened with tobacco.
Again, I'd give it a try and hope for the best but I have relatives who won't microwave their food for fear of eating radiation.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
