eating meat is unethical

capitalism doesnt care for ethics if government banned meat and news articles said moderately disparaging things about it for a week the entirety of the US would likely change their stance

because everyone is an AI that parrots what (they think) smarter people say

if you think im wrong lets talk about how people feel about drugs or literally any problem thats sensationalized. you idiots will believe anything if the news says it.

Ethics are not an absolute and are defined by the society in which they occur.

YOU think it's unethical. I happen to agree. We are in the minority.

And all of that is irrelevant to my point, which is that growing animals for organs is not LESS ethical than growing them for meat, and everyone seems fine with that.
