Emotional bond or no, I don't have it me to walk up to a (random or raised) animal and slit its throat. Especially when it's raised by me.

If it was a matter of life or death - that's a different topic. Right now, there's no reason to eat animal meat, except for "yummy".

The meat industry has done a "marvelous" job of disconnecring "killing" with "consuming meat". No, I don't feel like I'm killing the animal, because I'm not doing it.

I'm eating meat because it's "yummy". But that wasn't what I said in the original comment. I said if I had to choose (which I currently don't have to do). And I said I couldn't kill an animal with my own hands, just because it's tasty, because I'm not a psycho.

Apparently, I don't have a issue when a psycho does it and delivers me the meat, of an animal I have never seen before.

I wish it wasn't this way, and I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption (and I have, by a lot). But we don't live in an ideal world.

Same with climate change. You know that people are already dying because of it. I'm nor directly killing the people, but they are dying because of it. And me being "comfortable" adds to climate change (even if it's a minute addition, just like eating a Big Mac is a minute part of the killed animal)
