In regards to eating meat

But there's a reason Beta Max isn't available any more. Or HD DVDs. Or any product which was not supported by consumers.

Don't answer if you don't want to. But please explain how the money you spend on inhumanely raised meat does not go to the company which raised meat that way. I know that the money I receive for my meat supports my meat production, allowing me to continue it. Where does the money go from inhumane meat purchases if not to the company causing animals to suffer? I'm very confused.

I would offer a response to this. Beta Max, HD DVDs, and other wastebin technologies were discarded after something new was offered which better met the demand for high-density media.

Nobody outlawed Beta Max. And nobody went around preaching that HD DVDs were wrong. If they had, surely there would be a huge black market for Beta Max, and a growing cult of HD DVD watchers.

A larger issue here with "follow the food money" applies just as well to all the vegetarians and vegans that purchase all manner of GMO soy products, processed garbage, and various grain-based foods, and who in doing so support land-based agricultural practices which (I would venture to say) are killing just as many animals as slaughterhouses.

Surely, our land-based agricultural practices rob the animals of their natural habitats and restrict their natural migration patterns.

And yet some of these folks are uber-quick to turn their noses up at the meat eaters. Interesting.
