    There is literally no way to eat meat (i guess lab grown but that’s very recent, though arguably might be further developed if not capitalism) that doesn’t involve killing an animal. It’s not capitalism. The horrible living conditions somewhat are, but still nothing is forcing you to eat meat at all.

    And yes by buying ultra cheap clothing you’re demanding labor exploitatipn. Probably the biggest difference with meat though is that it’s not even more expensive to not eat it lol. Buying meat from animals that actually had a decent life is, but that’s not the only option.

    I eat meat myself but your argument just doesn’t hold.

      Buying any commodity is exploitation. As soon as we have a world where meat isn’t a commodity, then yes you are correct, but until then it doesn’t.
