> Will we get to the point where statues of now-famous people are pulled down because they ate animals?
Could you tell me any case where statue of famous people were pulled down because they used cotton products made by slaves?
eating meat is not equal to agitating for keeping slavery. so I think meat eaters are safe :)
on the other hand, hardcore people who insist on killing animals without consideration for alternatives could be condemned later after 50 years or something, but I think it's fine. bigger problem is when people keep insisting on immoral things without consideration of alternatives.
overall it's really interesting to see such a big focus on "cancel culture" in this comment.
