the claim is that by not consuming factory farmed meat, you make an impact on the amount of emissions from its production. this is not true. it is also not analogous to raping anyone.
You honestly think that factory farm emissions font change if people don’t give them money for their product? If your head was any further down in the sand, the magma would melt it.
Analogies don’t indicate a similar level of morality. They are used to explain points to people who, for some reason, are unwilling or unable to otherwise understand.

i didnt suggest they did. i’m saying that buying food is disanalagous to rape.
edit
to be clear, rape is wrong. buying food is not. you don’t not-rape in order to reduce rape. you don’t-rape because rape is wrong. by contrast, the goal of not-buying meat is to reduce the environmental impact of the meat industry. if that doesn’t work, then not-buying meat is not a moral duty (at least, not for that reason. it’s possible there is some other reason, but that’s not the topic being discussed).
What if you buy food from someone you know murdered children to get it? It’s so obviously wrong that buying food is never an immoral act. If you are interested in having philosophical conversations, then you really need to go back to the basics. At this point, you’re trying to join an archery competition with a nurf toy. There are undeniably immoral ways to get food. Destroying the planet and torturing animals for slightly cheaper food that you do not absolutely need to survive is absolutely immoral. The reason it is so hard for you to see this is because you are an addict making excuses. Not because you are starving and need the cheapest, most despicable food.
That’s progress! You’re on a good track. Not sure if you’re the same one I sent this link to or not, but if you want to see the living conditions of the animals in the meat system are, here you go. You can judge the morality of it on your own.
Guess again. Almost certainly, you are contributing a significant portion of your energy and money to billionaires who torture animals in ways that you would be unable to even watch.
I’ve been wrong plenty before, but I would be astonished if you are capable of even viewing the atrocities that you commit. That’s how disgusting the things people hire billionaires to do in the name of cheap meat it.
Because if not, then you are putting your own mere 20 minutes of pleasure higher than entire lives of tight, confined, indoor, away from their children and parents, raped, drugged, mutilated while alive of animals. There is no chance that if an animal was living like this on your property such that you had to see it daily, you wouldn’t save it. As it is, nearly everyone happily hires billionaires to do it for them. Most of the time they hide behind “but I neeeeeed foooood!!!”. I’ve not given those scumbags a penny in many years, and I’m alive, I’m not rich, and I am absolutely well nourished. I’ve recently done multiple marathons.
It absolutely does. You would be able to see it if the addiction in question was cheap animal products. Your brain is clouded by the fact that since food is required to live, then no food can be an addiction. You’re simply wrong. You and many people can be addicted to cheap, unhealthy food that harms the planet. As a result of it, you excise your own deplorable behavior.
Yes, I have. The millions of us who choose not to help those assholes causes them to make less e missions. Unfortunately there are still people like you who live without caring about anyone but their own immediate gratification.

water and land aren’t going anywhere. and all of agriculture is only about 20% of our emissions, and since we need to eat, we should be looking at other methods of saving the environment.
no, it doesnt. despite the existence of vegans, meat production increases every year, year over year.
And there’s crime so you might as well rape. What a pathetic cop out. You’re lucky there are so many people taking care of you.

I allowed that there may be some reason buying some food might be immoral.

i am not in your youtube video at all. don’t lie.
why is the bar “absolute need for survival”?

I thought we were discussing ecological impacts. this seems to be an entirely different r discussion.
the animal is dead long before i decide what to eat. my decision is not a value judgement on their lives.
you accusation of addiction is a personal attack. it has no bearing on the truth of any of the claims I’ve made.

are you a psychologist? are you my psychologist? frankly, you are acting irresponsibly and you should consider staying in your own expertise.
saying it doesn’t make it true.
have you tried that?
Yes, I have. The millions of us who choose not to help those assholes causes them to make less e missions. Unfortunately there are still people like you who live without caring about anyone but their own immediate gratification.
that has never happened

no one said that. what i said is that emissions from agriculture have always risen, so it can’t be that anything you’ve done has decreased them.

this is a thought terminating cliche
No it doesn’t, Commie
you’re cherrypicking.

What is your point?
my point is that buying meat (or not) has no impact on the environment.

calling me names doesn’t change whether what i’m saying is true.
i never said that. i said that buying beans doesn’t change anything.
