More on why...
In 2020 I realized I was living with some cognitive dissonance that I'd never seriously considered.
Namely, I believe that:
1. The outcomes of my actions are more important than my intent
2. Most animals likely experience pain & pleasure within ~2 orders of magnitude of mine
3. Most farmed animals greatly suffer for most of their lives
3. Through my habits, I implicitly accept this suffering AND signal my acceptance to the economy
And yet I eat any and all meat that I can. 🤔
