Over 50 billion farm animals are being raised for human food right now, mostly in bad conditions. Showing any concern at all about the vast scope of this suffering provokes many twitter trolls to call one a 'soyboy'. Ah, life's rich diversity of ethical principles.
I strongly supported the Paleo diet in my 'Mate' book (2015), and think it's a great foundation for physical health. But since then, I've grown more concerned about the ethical problems with factory-farmed meat and fish.

It’s also a bit ironic for Paleo dieters to consume meat produced in factory farms. If everyone consumed grass-fed meat, everyone would have to eat substantially less meat anyway, or most would be priced out!

I went from paleo to plant-based for just this reason. Even if my body was healthier before, my conscience is healthier now.

Mucusless diet is where it's at, not eggs and meat. Especially if one have to perform.
