I'm not sure if that's the case, or if it's more that people don't care. Quite honestly, I smoke, drink in excess, put a lot of lethal substances in my body, and eat red meats and processed meats all the time. Do I know that all of these things are working on killing me? Hell yes I do. Do I care? Not in the least to be honest, I enjoy living and when it ends it ends. I imagine that's more like what most people's view is. They hear the information being given to them, just don't care.
EDIT: And the condescending thing is a bit complicated. Wouldn't everyone here say the Holocaust was wrong? That's basically the conditions the animals live in. I'm not taking sides with Vegan here, but I understand where she and vegetarians in general are coming from with that.
