    What a false comparison - unprocessed meat vs processed non-meat. I’m sorry if your lack of food diversity growing up has made you sensitive to beans but you would certainly survive just fine as and when meat was not available. People can live off nothing but potatoes when necessary - ask the Irish. Though it’s also not good to rely on a single type of food - also ask the Irish.

    It’s comfort convenience and pleasure. If you could moderate those things in the face of moral responsibility towards other animals then you would indeed stop eating meat. Though it’s a lot easier to pretend it’s not your choice isn’t it?

    I should say I eat meat occasionally. And I use technology from companies destroying the world and buy products from companies owned by people I despise. I do not live up to my own ideal ethics and neither do 99% of humans who ever lived. Accepting moral truths does not require you to be morally perfect. It’s a direction to pull towards not a binary measurement of if you’re a valid person.
