other times people i guess think that you could cover a complex topic like this in bite-sized spoon-fed internet comments and memes. i feel pity for those guys.
I have a philosophy degree. I don’t need you to cover the topic. I asked you to support your position.
if you can’t explain your position, I’m not going to go looking for support for you.
reductio ad absurdum
There is no free will. Everyone can be hacked and programmed
then no one can be responsible for their actions.
there is no such thing as an unbiased source
none of your arguments will hold water with the lived experience of most people. they don’t want to see the disappointment in their grandma’s eyes over something they don’t believe, themselves, to be a just reason for turning down her cooking. they didn’t see a problem with grabbing some food on their way to make the world a better place. your grandstanding is not only ineffective: it comes across as bizarre and unhinged.
I’m blocking you
oh thank god
You don’t argue in any sense of data or fact, just shitty little retorts amounting to nothing more than “no, actually”.
there’s no data you’ve presented to discuss
you’re the worst, most bad faith debater I’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
convenience isn’t a valid reason to do wrong
we’ve been over this: most people don’t think it’s wrong.
culture doesn’t permit amoral acts
we’ve been over this.
Plant based food is objectively cheaper
sometimes, for some people.
stick up for what’s right, don’t crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect
most people don’t think eating meat is morally wrong.
just because it’s easier doesn’t mean it’s right.
i didnt say it’s right. i said it’s a reason people choose meat.
Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things.
i think you meant immoral. as it turns out, culture is a great reason to choose amoral actions, and most people think eating meat is amoral.
Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies.
this doesn’t change the fact that, for some, in some situations, it is a better source of calories-per-dollar
cost, culture, & convenience are the ones I usually refer. gas station hot dogs are cheap and convenient. turning down family recipes put a social strain related to culture. those are two great examples that cover all three. I’m sure you can imagine more: stopping for a fast food burger on your way to protest at the Capitol, etc.
people do it just for pleasure
there are other reasons, and pretending there aren’t won’t help youconvince the people who continue to choose it.
not necessarily. we mostly feed livestock parts of plants we don’t or can’t eat. so while spinach is human-edible, the spinach fed to chickens is not handled in a way that keeps it safe for human consumption. by feeding it to livestock, we are conserving resources.
