but... if youre eating eggs from your backyard chickens and honey from the beehive you set up in your garden and drinking milk from the goat that mows your lawn or whatever and so on and so forth, uh... youre not vegan.
like, i agree that it makes sense to avoid human suffering in the supply chain just as much as it does animal suffering, but theres still no ethical consumption under capitalism
edit: so any supply chain you participate in is gonna be unethical to some extent
my point is that if you view eating a backyard chickens eggs as morally indefensible and thus dont eat them youself, but you also are aware of the human suffering implicit in any supply chain, and thus cant consume anything involving wage slavery because its also morally indefensible... wtf are you going to eat?
the part that doesn't make sense here is the first part...
don't do this and the rest makes sense.
sure, i dont disagree.
