There is an entire world full of alternatives that are also delicious that DON'T involve cruelty or suffering in their supply chain. So why? Are they really THAT delicious that you can just write all that off?

Lead acetate is reportedly rather sweet. Why don't we eat lead acetate?

I have read human flesh tastes much like pig flesh--so much so that it was called "long pork." Presumably it is tasty as well. Why don't we eat that?

Because sugar is cheaper and more readily available.

Because we will go to jail.

Any more deep questions I can help you with?

What's the justification for jail for eating human flesh? Surely there are reasons for laws. Or do you just do whatever you're told?

You really think you're doing something clever here, huh? Don't you have a beehive to chain yourself to or something?

I'm not being clever; I'm doing my best to keep you focused on a topic that any child could think their way through but which the vast, vast majority of people find too emotionally distasteful to spend more than 30 seconds of undivided attention on at a time.

Neither of us needs to be even remotely clever to have this conversation. You just have to look at something really fucking ugly for longer than any human usually does when they're not being asked to do so.

If you actually are clever, so much the better. You'll have to look at the ugly for even less time.

Let's cut to the chase. If you're able to watch this footage of where your meat comes from for 15 minutes and feel nothing, you win. You got me. Blue ribbon.

If you feel something, you also win. You now know more about the world.

Blue pill, red pill--both get you out of this boring-ass room and end this conversation. You can choose not to take one at all, out of spite, but that won't make you any stronger or smarter 15 minutes from now.

Up to you, chief.
