>these things are too much to ask for from the individual
ah, you are saying that its too hard to stop eating animal foods?
>its too much to ask from me
i understand its hard to quit eating meat, especially fast food, but it can be done. im sure rapists dont like the idea of stopping raping people, but these are all moral issues
>and can only really have any meaningful impact when done by collective (legislative) action
thats not true at all. your impact is immediate, its called supply and demand. by not buying animal products, you deduce the demand of it, which, over time, will statistically mean that the grocery store will order next next meat over the next 6 months, to account for your lack of business
peter singer, a princeton professor, explains the idea behind supply and demand in the first 3 minutes of this video

>joe smow is just living a miserable life so more chicken can be thrown into the wallmart dumpster/have 00000000000000001% less population output
the problem is when you pay money for these products, it gives an economic incentive to keep making them. for example, dairy has been getting less business due to the increase in plant based milks, and they are hurting financially because of it
not to mention you are appealing to futility
>waaa animal abuse is always going to happen so might as well keep doing it
using this logic, police wouldnt patrol the streets because there will always be crime, and doctors wouldnt try saving peoples lives because there will always be medical deaths. its hypocritical to appeal to futility in this moral issue because you wouldnt appeal to futility in other moral issues that are futile to stop, you obese pig
