I don't believe animal suffering in food consumption is a problem because suffering is a factor of existence.

Suffering isn't bad cuz it exists. So does that mean morals do real cuz they don't exist? Don't make me laugh, salad eater. Pick your vegan poison.

Look at it like this, do you believe G-d exists? If yes, that means that this entire system was set up by a divine creator as having life eat life. Nothing in this existence gets away without stealing life from something else. Why would eating animals be wrong if we were designed this way and everything else on earth was designed this way? If no, that means that your position on animal suffering being immoral in food consumption is a subjective stance based on your subjective morality. It isn't based on a universal paradigm. You believe it to be correct because it makes you feel good. That isn't a basis of morality, that's a basis of you being able to live with your own actions while suffering from hyperactive empathy. We like to play this game where we think we aren't animals living in a natural ecosystem where animals eat other animals. The fact of the matter is we're apes which wear pants. We're just as much animal as the wolves which stalk their prey. Nothing would make me go vegan because veganism is based on a false argument in a subjective morality.
