    What if you buy food from someone you know murdered children to get it? It’s so obviously wrong that buying food is never an immoral act. If you are interested in having philosophical conversations, then you really need to go back to the basics. At this point, you’re trying to join an archery competition with a nurf toy. There are undeniably immoral ways to get food. Destroying the planet and torturing animals for slightly cheaper food that you do not absolutely need to survive is absolutely immoral. The reason it is so hard for you to see this is because you are an addict making excuses. Not because you are starving and need the cheapest, most despicable food.

        Guess again. Almost certainly, you are contributing a significant portion of your energy and money to billionaires who torture animals in ways that you would be unable to even watch.

        I’ve been wrong plenty before, but I would be astonished if you are capable of even viewing the atrocities that you commit. That’s how disgusting the things people hire billionaires to do in the name of cheap meat it.

                Try and find out the standard practices of the factory farm where the meat from your local area comes from. They don’t make it easy to find out, and if you do find out, it is currently much worse than what was happening 15 years ago. There is a good reason for this, too. In most regards, the rule is that they can’t be too much worse than the average behavior. This is causing a horrific drift to worse and worse practices.

                There is almost no push back on this because the average person is so reluctant to admit that they may be supporting something so vile that they stand behind whatever it is these farms do without having any actual idea of what’s going on. Nobody is checking in on these places and coming out saying alls good other than the people making a ton of money off them.

                If you don’t know for sure that you get animal products from good places, then it is almost guaranteed that you don’t. If you don’t care to even find out, then you are the normal consumer, and you have accepted that your pleasure matters more than the treatment of the animals in them. You are not the minority. You are the merciless masses with no morality in this regard.

                    You are right, but I can make a very educated guess based on the deprivety that you insist on trying to defend. If you have been pretending this whole time and you actually have concern for the planet and for the well-being of others, then great. It’s a strange thing to troll about, but that would be much better than if you actually hold the opinions you are pretending to.
