[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

Define harm. If a pig is born and raised by a meatpacking operation, there’s a pig that would never have been born without the meatpacking operation - if it is raised and slaughtered humanely (which they aren’t, these days), is it harmed? If people are starving due to shutdown of all inhumane meatpacking operations, have we reduced overall harm?
I don’t understand your point too well, especially in relation to my point that vegetable farming also harms animals. But yeah, humans cause a tremendous amount of harm, which I’m defining as general suffering in this particular case. People won’t starve because there’s less meat being produced, but it seems like you’re arguing that reducing meat consumption will cause more overall suffering?
