    Because in this scenario we are not just disallowing meat for some people. We are utterly outlawing the production and distribution of meat. The analogy simply does not work.

    Also, if R rated movies are legal for some people, that means they’re regulated. Outlawing something puts it on the unregulated black market. People will be buying unsafe meat.

    If you sell outlawed videos (like snuff films or rape films) you can go to jail for that. Or even for possessing them. That’s a better analogy than R-rated movies which are not actually outlawed.

    But you didn’t answer my question. How far are you willing foe the law to go? Do you want meat eaters to go to jail? To merely be fined? What about meat producers and distributors?
