I literally don’t eat meat, i just enjoy cheese and butter, the dairy alternatives haven’t caught up to the alternative meats yet. I used to love cooking and eating steak (used to make a mean Steak Diane), but haven’t in years due to how terrible beef farming is for the environment. If I’m given free food that would go to waste without me eating it I’ll eat meat, but only if their is no veggie alternative. There is literally so much fuxking human suffering in the world to care about and mediate before we should spend all our time and energy worrying about animal suffering. If humanity doesnt even have class conciousness, how can you expect it to have the empathetic capacity to care about animal suffering, when it doesnt give a damn aboht human suffering. And yes there is no ethical consumption under Capitalism.
Bro you don’t get to say “But have you considered that the cow torturers are being exploited of the value of their labor?!?!?” and pretend it’s praxis.
Like, sure, but contributing to both isn’t an answer.

They quite literally are being exploited of their labor value, and have one of the grossest most disgusting jobs in modern society.

Sure. How does buying the meat help?
