    What about their living conditions?

    “Yeah, they spent their entire lives packed like sardines sitting in their own shit because they’re too fat to stand and never see the light of day. But at least they were killed humanely!”

    The cognitive dissonance among meat-eaters is worse than that of conservatives. You people are a shining example of how ‘rational’ thinkers will become irrational at the drop of a hat if that’s what their peers are doing.

    Autonomy just isn’t a valuable trait these days. We pride ourselves on being stupid and ignorant if that’s what makes us fit in. Then we get mad at anyone who calls it out, lol. Useful idiots are the norm.

      The way you communicate your point is as important and the message itself. I stopped eating meat myself many years ago and really despise the meat industry, but unless we stop attacking meat eater and find a better way to communicate our ethical, environmental and health concerns we will not be able to change anybody’s behavior.

        For that they’ll need to stop considering themselves as better than others first.

        Sorry, people don’t want to change unless they have to. My goal also isn’t to get people to change. Simply exposing them to the knowledge that they’re delusional hypocrites is enough for me.

        Trying to change people is usually an act in futility. You’ll understand when you’re older.
