It is since meat consumption largely affects the life of other people, some by death.
- kcplate 4y ago> It is since meat consumption largely affects the life of other people, some by death Sheesh. Why is it that every damned belief system that demands some level of moral absolutism always ends the same way—advocating some form of totalitarianism to manage their intolerance.

Still, the authors of the report make clear, humans are not powerless. Repairing damaged ecosystems and reducing greenhouse gas emissions dramatically and immediately would spare billions of people from illness, poverty, displacement and death.
- kcplate 4y agoSorry…I don’t buy into the “if everyone would just do this…the earth will be a utopia” fantasies. If everyone suddenly became vegan overnight, solved every climate issue, eliminated (fill in whatever other blank you think is important enough to foist your morality on the rest of us)…there would still be billions of people suffering from illness, poverty, displacement, and death. Those four things are not because of meat eating, fossil fuels, or (fill in the blank), its because it is human nature and dumb luck for some to have success and others to not have success. There is no such thing as equity when 7B people are competing for limited resources. We are not masters of our domain, we are semi-successful species that over the lifespan of this earth are going to last about as long as the stink from a gnat fart in a hurricane. And during that tiny amount of time that I occupy that gnat fart, I’m going to eat meat and enjoy every bite.
- tcfhgj 4y agoWell less suffering at least. But it doesn't happen because of people like you
- kcplate 4y agoYes, yes…us meat eaters are at the root of all the worlds problems. Funny how the human race managed to achieve any success at all considering our penchant for consuming animals throughout our entire existence.
