As a carnivorous Buddhist, I believe I should personally kill the animals I eat. I am ashamed that I have rarely done so.https://twitter.com/JessieSunPsych/status/954477297511284736 …

I dislike the idea of human suffering in Amazon warehouses, and I still order stuff from Amazon. It'll be automated soon though. I think that this carnivore position is actually pretty reasonable: ppl want the system changed, not to have to behave differently in the same system.

Hmm, not sure I understand… do you have cultured meat in mind here? Or, how would animals get killed to eat if not in a slaughterhouse?

I live near a "bird shop", and the sight of the birds in cages is always depressing to me. It strikes me that if I lived next door to a slaughterhouse I'd probably be much likelier to be a vegetarian. That said I think in Malcolm's analogy the end goal is synthetic meat

Synthetic meat is one endgame. But I think on a different level it's actually just a willpower thing. People are like "slaughterhouses are bad, but the pain of *choosing* daily to not eat meat dishes I prefer isn't worth the very tiny impact that would have on slaughterhouses"

Although I started eating limited red meat after needing iron injections for nonexistent iron levels, so we need to address the human health aspects as well...
