Kropotkin's "Conquest of Bread". Start there. And FYI, I never said it is entirely unswayed by demand, only that demand does not influence it in the way that capitalist realism propaganda of supply-demand makes it appear to.
There are ethical methods to the production and thus consumption of meat. They do exist. So piss off with this claim that there is no ethical consumption of meat. There is nothing inherently unethical about the consumption of meat. Humans are animals and part of the wider ecosystem and our consumption of meat is just as ethical as when any other animal consumes another for its sustenance. The issue is entirely with the system and how it incentivises certain methods over others due to arbitrary societal structures.
Thanks, ill have a look.
it feels like youve backpedaled. Consumers /do/ influemce production, just not as much as you think I think they do.
To match your tone, piss off with thid claim that unnecessary killing is ethical. "animals do it, and we are animals, therefore its ethical for is to do" is a lazy argument that doesnt stand up to 20 seconds of thought.
Just because you didn't understand the original argument doesn't mean the clarification of misunderstanding means I'm backpedaling.
People need to eat and animals are food. Get over yourself with your arbitrary moral judgements.
