Unless one is a hunter-gatherer, meat eating isn’t about survival.
Instead, what it means is that they may care; but not enough to give up or work on giving up the pleasure of eating meat daily.
No one is forcing these people to participate. Being overworked is an absolutely ridiculous excuse for not being able to cut out unethically farmed meat from your diet.
While chickens are dumb, evil animals.
People can make a choice for themselves, most don't because deep down they don't give a fuck, many do though
There’s a reason a bunch of states passed laws making it illegal to photograph the warehouses where these animals are raised.
If there was a transparency law, that required an accurate picture of the location where the animals whose meat is being sold was raised to be stuck on the packaging it wouldn’t be very long before the more inhumane (or more accurately, the more inhumane looking) meat sources would become unprofitable.
Because most people are willing to pay a little bit more if they fully understand the ethical consequences. Actually, what is more likely to happen is that many people would eat meat less frequently, opting for more plant based sources of protein and then spend the extra money needed for the more humane meat when they wanted meat itself.
Most people I’ve grown up with are aware but don’t care or just put it out mind.
Willful blindness is a very human condition and a terrifying one.
