Not joking
To be more specific:
Knowingly, unnecessarily eating animals is an act that inherently has, relatively speaking, more STS polarizing potential than STO polarizing potential.
There. Is that better?
Anyway, I think Ra meant that you can't determine polarity based on the action alone. Other factors come into play, like intentions. That's why I used qualifiers. Obviously someone who knows that meat isn't necessary, but just does it because they like it, and they know how much the animal suffered, isn't getting the same polarizing potential as someone who is eating it unconsciously, or some primitive person who killed animals to survive. The act might be the same, but its polarity cannot be determined based on action alone.
