But if the answer to that is no, then by eating meat you’re responsible for the death of the animal you eat, plus all the insects that were killed to raise crops to feed it before you ate it. For something like a cow, they’re eating significantly more crops than you would because they weigh like 1000 lbs.
If the answer is yes, then don’t eat the cow, because as far as we can tell it has more awareness and capacity for suffering than a bug.
Some can argue insects are more important to our ecosystem.
Either way, I have personally cut back on eating red meat. Been trying to cut back on meat altogether, but strictly for my health. At this point in the world, I don’t have much hope. Climate change will dictate what we eat.

Unless you consume the entire animal yourself and refuse to share, the math doesn’t check out.
