It helps,

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.

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.

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

why is the bar “absolute need for survival”?

no one is torturing animals

you accusation of addiction is a personal attack. it has no bearing on the truth of any of the claims I’ve made.

You honestly think that factory farm emissions font change if people don’t give them money for their product?

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.

causes them to make less e missions.

that has never happened

this is a thought terminating cliche

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

“I alone can’t change anything”

i never said that. i said that buying beans doesn’t change anything.

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.

I don’t know why I keep arguing with a troll,

calling me names doesn’t change whether what i’m saying is true.
