Can you expand a bit more on being a personal choice? Would you say an action is a personal choice even if there's a victim involved?
What you eat is a personal choice from what's available to you. Some people can't afford organic vegetables and can only get protein from animal sources because they subsistence farm. Some people live in industrialized societies and have the time and resources to make most of their own food from scratch and not eat anything from animals (that's me).
Grandstanding about it on the internet or thinking one way or another is superior abstracts this to philosophy and outside of reality. Ultimately its a choice and moralizing it or talking about hypotheticals or judging others character based on your own beliefs is ridiculous. Some people think meat is murder, some people hunt species that are over populated because humans have killed all the predators, there's always a counter point to every part of the discussion.
You have Jains in India causing public health crises feeding pigeons and causing disease to spread, and you have people eating meat contaminated with shit giving them e coli from factory farms. There's people that hunt and respect the animals they kill to feed their families, and people that grow their own food in their backyard because they have time and property.
It's all relative, it's all a personal nuanced choice. Ive heard the same moralistic arguments ad nauseum, there's no one way to live and no one way to eat in this current world.
Would you say the same about exercise? Say out of the activities available for me there's my two favorites: walking and kicking dogs. Do you think it's a personal choice whichever option I pick?
You don't care what people do? Even if it would impact your personal choice?
