Taking a critical look at one's own meat consumption can be enlightening, because it is something that we often take for granted. Do I eat meat because it is necessary for my health? If not, what are the reasons? How is the meat that I'm eating produced? How long do these animals live compared to their natural life span? What is the environmental cost of animal farming? Etc., Etc.
I did not find convincing answers to these questions, so I stopped buying and eating meat.
- koheripbal 6y agoI eat hamburgers because they are delicious. I assume that the ethical, ecological, and societal impacts of that decision is somehow internalize in the price. I know I am wrong - but I hope that becomes true one day.
