Factory farming
Wrong. Factory farming IS, in fact, in the same category as child labor in terms of impact on humans. Factory farming of animals is disgusting for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the appalling treatment & condition of animals. But the practice is equally harmful to each and every human on this planet because of the rampant use of foul chemicals & hormones that pollute our air, water and food.
Food is, happily, becoming increasingly political. I think the LW should simply state to his friend what he tells us in his letter. I absolutely disagree with Cary that a friend cannot say, with all honesty, "I want to UNDERSTAND you." If this friend is really a friend, he'll listen to what you have to say.
(And no, I'm not a vegan.)
