    this is storytelling, not evidence. if we can’t agree that meat producers have free will, and i am only responsible for my own actions, we have a fundamental disagreement that won’t be resolved on lemmy. but ask yourself: at what point do meat producers become responsible for tehir own actions?

      they become responsible for their own actions when quitting the industry would reduce the harm done to animals.

        obviously we disagree. i hold them accountable for their actions regardless.

          Regardless of whether the meat industry itself is a problem, you surely must admit that consuming meat from the industry only feeds the meat industry.

              Yeah, due to increased demand. Let’s be clear here, I’m not talking about “how much difference can just one person make?” – if you eat meat, you eat one person’s worth of meat. That one person’s worth of meat is due to you. If you did not eat meat, there would be one less person eating meat, and the meat industry would be that much smaller; a couple fewer animals might be slaughtered as a result over the course of your lifetime (I have no idea how many animals the typical person eats tbh).

              I’m not claiming that one person becoming vegetarian will bring a halt to the meat industry.

                if I died today there is no reason for me to believe any industry would get smaller as a result, and I would of course stop purchasing everything.

                there are more vegans now more than ever, and more meat produced. being vegan doesn’t decrease the size of the industry.

                  Obviously not. Eating meat increases the size of the meat industry. If twice as many people ate meat, that’d be twice as good for the meat industry – I think. At least some constant factor times better. I would have to double-check my old textbook to see what classical economics predicts, there might be diminishing returns.

                    eating meat doesn’t cause people in the meat industry to do anything. they get to choose what they do.
