    I never said I didn’t see child labor as a problem as well, but the industry shouldn’t exist in the first place.

    We’re all going to die unless people stop eating meat.

    Make better choices and the problem goes away all on its own. Like removing streets to clear up traffic.

      you’re conflating two issues here to soapbox about meat with a strawman argument-- and you still haven’t said you disapprove of child labor. child labor won’t magically disappear if people stop eating meat.

        I don’t think it’s mere coincidence that an industry devoid of compassion for animals is also devoid of compassion for humans. The issues are certainly distinct, but not entirely unrelated.

          It foolish to see things as so black and white when the reality is a bombastic rainbow.

          Like… I see where you’re coming from, and I understand why you think that… but it’s just not that simple.
