Well, nothing. Everyone has different balances of desire and empathy.
In my country there's a huge deal about rhino poaching for their horns. Pictures of dead rhinos with only their horns chopped off generally horrify us and most can't imagine why someone would kill a rhino for its horn. However, I recently read something about how these pictures have no impact on foreign purchasers of rhino horn - the desire for the commodity far outweighs any feeling for the animal, despite it being endangered.
So you might care about the rhino, but not about your food. Some might care about orphans, but not rhinos or food. Others might care about everything but vegetables. Who is correct? I don't know, but I think it's important to at least engage with the issue so our decisions are conscious. The end result isn't as important as simply having gone through the process.
