    You’re talking about morality and I’m considering people’s feelings, however convoluted they might be. It’s not a moral issue, it’s marketing.

      Is killing a person a moral issue, or is that also simply marketing?

        Your food and clothing likely involved slavery directly and murder by less than a degree of separation, you goober. Yes, it’s a marketing issue.

          Clothing doesn’t require the death of anyone the same way eating meat does.

          One it’s possible to be cruelty free, and the other is not.

          Also, if I knew for a fact that a company committed acts of evil, I would avoid them as best I could, just like I do with meat.

          Complaining that eating meat is not actually wrong, it’s just marketing, is just a laughable way to look at ethics and empathy.

          Lastly, whataboutism is a joke of a defence.

            You’ve said quite a bit to this vegetarian-since-you-were-an-egg that I processed well over a decade ago. I want you, if you don’t mind, to read my other replies and to reread the question I responded to. And with the most belabored sigh that you can imagine, can I say please?
