My point was that a bacon sandwich in particular is not a food need that's hard to replace nutritionally by existing foods. People eat it because it's super tasty. I would bet there is a very small percentage of total bacon eaten in the world that is eaten out of necessity (impoverished family eating their raised livestock).

It's a bad faith argument to make the assumption that I think the change should happen overnight instantly. And it's simply a bad argument that someone somewhere would have to eat meat eventually. It takes a LOT of crop farming to provide sustainance for the meat industry.

That's the dumbest application of game theory I've ever heard.

This example would only apply if there were a finite amount of animals shared between the two people only and there were no other factors at play other than eating and being hungry. Additionally let's assume the x is [eat animals]. This then defines the reason why people are telling you to not eat animals (the second x) as simply because "they don't like it". It shows you are missing the point entirely.

Don't pretend your "you don't like it so I'm going to do more of it" is anything more than "owning the annoying vegans who told me what to do".

New proposal: if we start eating all of the people who eat animals starting with those who eat the most meat, we will reduce the planet's meat consumption quite rapidly.

I didn't realise people ate bacon sandwiches out of pure necessity.

Commenter 1: I love killing and eating one of those animals of similar intelligence and sentience! So sad the one I don't eat is sad.

Commenter 2: I don't understand the downvotes

I know locally sourced is much better for the environment, but when talking about empathy for the animals, I don't think getting to pet them before they die really cuts it.

I also don't like being told what to do. But I can also recognise that its an extremely childish response to say "well you asked me not to, so I'm going to do it more".

Just imagine how much Bill Gates knows about him. He's got more microchips in him than a supercomputer!

If he gets $223M a year for being a detriment to society, I should be getting at least $446M for being relatively neutral.
