Need you ask? Even the group here is conflicted. It seems we can't even agree that to buy the inhumanely raised meat is to contribute to its perpetuation.
The question was framed to draw attention to the fact that it isn't easy. Otherwise, it would be done.

Sadly, I think many people are quite aware of the process. They don't care. They eat at McDonald's because it "tastes good", is "cheap and convenient", and above all because it is "American".
Frankly, I tend to be more concerned for the plight of these humans, rather than the cows which they consume. But even then- there is a place being prepared for our unconscious brethren to inhabit while the rest of us get on with our lives.

Mark 4:3-9 Wrote:Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Not everybody was meant to awaken in these times.
