So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?
Cognitive dissonance
More like disassociation. They just don't connect killing animals to eating meat. So they don't feel a cognitive dissonance.
Like... People living comfortable in captialistic countries/societies, don't think they personally kill all victims of capitalism. They just don't connect these things. They disassociate their life and living standards from the 'others'.
