I'd love to see how we can adopt this in our current economic system. Would we classify factory farming as necessary even though it causes extreme harm to sentient beings? We'd have to make a huge shift in food production and eating habits.
- vacuity 2y agoWe haven't remotely tried alternatives, and the main arguments for retaining factory farming seem to be "I'm entitled to eat meat because I like it and pay for it" and perhaps "there are too many moving parts to just stop with no consequences", which I don't find convincing. Even if the process of fixing it is also subject to the rule, so we can't just cut jobs immediately, I think the main obstacle is that there simply isn't the collective will to change.
