Let's put our thinking caps on and go through a couple of scenarios, shall we?
Scenario 1
You're hungry and sharing a room with a barbecue, a living cow, a knife and a can of beans. What do you eat?
Most people in this scenario would leave the poor cow alone and just eat the can of beans. They don't want to be responsible for hurting and killing a sentient, living being.
Scenario 2
You're hungry and sharing a room with a barbecue, a living cow, a knife, a can of beans and a nice psychopath who's willing to murder and cut up that cow for you. What do you eat?
Most people would still leave the poor cow alone and just eat the can of beans. I might lose a few people here, but still, most don't want to be responsible for hurting and killing a sentient, living being.
Scenario 3
You're hungry and sharing a room with a barbecue, a living cow, a knife, a can of beans and a nice psychopath who's willing to murder and cut up that cow for you. This time, we'll give the nice psychopath his own room to do the nasty deed of murdering the cow. What do you eat?
It's getting trickier, but I would think atleast most females would still just eat the beans. I might be losing more men here though.
Scenario 4
In this scenario, we'll give the psychopath some friends, a shitload of cows and a big warehouse far, far away from you. You still have your choice of beans, instead of the dead cow on the barbecue. What do you eat?
This scenario is the reality we live in today and somehow, most of the people who ate beans in all of the previous scenarios, will happily have a dead cow for dinner tonight. Even though it is the same, poor, innocent cow and even though they could still just have eaten the beans (or something else).
Your choice when walking into a store is always a choice of having someone murder an innocent, sentient, living being for you, or just eating something else. It doesn't even have to be beans. The plant-based choices today are HUGE.
So, at which scenario did your morals change? And why?
