> he already said he had a problem with inhumanely produced meat

Well, technically they said that they don't "like to eat inhumanly raised animal products".

But I guess the general argument is whether their stance is inherently consistent.

...which is pointless to deconstruct without further input from the parent.

For me, it’s a “chose your battles” sort of thing. I don’t seek confrontation nor even diminishing others. Life is too, too short. I further hope that my nonviolence will lead others to treat me nonviolently.

But is the parent really needed here? This discussion seems to have become "how dare you take a stance in this issue that we cannot fully understand"?

How about, while hungry they are sickened by the cruelty involved in producing food, but while full, they simply have other, more important things on their mind?
