    surely you can see that there are going to need be more evidence. some kind of communication prior to the fact is probably going to need to be established.

      It’s called supply and demand. They know there is a demand for meat so they grow animals and feed those animals plants. Continuing to eat meat supports a system that consumes more plants than a system where humans only eat plants. You shouldn’t need your hand held for this, it’s pretty basic stuff.

        supply and demand.

        that’s a theory about price discovery that actually has no predictive value. it is not a magic phrase that traverses space-time

          Okay so you are responsible for the next dead cow that the company has to produce now to replace the one you bought.

          Your action led to a dead cow in the future.

          Does that work?

            no, they don’t. they could choose not to do that. I am not responsible for their choices.

            no, that’s not causal. but even if it were, it doesn’t make me responsible for the killing of the plants or animals in the past.

        this is just posturing. it doesn’t support your (erroneous) claim, nor does it undermine my (obviously correct) position.
