So let me know if you DON’T think that your and others’ purchasing of meat causes animal agriculture. Because I think you agree that your actions and others’ actions cause it.

So you’re saying your purchasing of cows contributes towards animal agriculture

I doubt it. I bet if I died tomorrow, more meat would be sold next year than this year, and evenore the year after.

I bet more meat is sold next year in the timeline where you live than in the timeline where you die.

animal agriculture existed before anyone ever bought meat. purchasing meat didn’t cause animal agriculture.

Trying to get meat caused animal agriculture. Stop trying to get meat.

it’s too late. animal agriculture exists, and will continue whether I eat meat or not.

It’s too late to prevent murder from existing, so if I pay that assassin a million dollars to murder you, I don’t see how that changes the state of the world meaningfully
