96% of Americans apparently don't have an issue with killing and eating a living thing. Or paying someone else to kill a living thing so you can eat it. Or paying someone to pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to kill a living thing so you can eat it.

..but they have a problem with taking your own insufferable life or with abortion.

Sadly your optimistic view is very unlikely to happen. The world is getting dumber and dumber by the day. And considering this chart, I'd bet many muricans don't even know what meat is or where it comes from. Or even have time pondering about the morality of it while juggling 3 jobs to survive crippling medical debt.
