I will. I plan on enjoying it. I hope you recognize that I'm doing this at your behest, equivalent to you eating the meat.
Also, have you ever considered that some people know where their meat comes from and know that it's not being kept in horrible conditions? I don't really care that it's dying to feed me. Plants die to feed me too.
I'm not going to get into the environmental aspect as I know that veganism is better for the environment, but just shifting away from factory farmed red meat would be a huge positive change and then you don't even piss off the majority of the population (that see you as a self-righteous shithead) :)
Obviously I'd prefer it if you didn't eat animals but I'm actually chill with just being more mindful about what you support. If you're going out of your way to try and minimise the harm you're doing then that's better than most people.
And at least you recognise the environmental harm. The only thing that really annoys me is people lying about these things.
There's this great game on the internet called Half Earth Socialism. The idea is the earth has converted to a single socialist government, and you get to be president of Earth for life. Can you save the earth from climate change without losing popular support and being coup'ed?
A lot of people say they failed this game because it's too hard. But I didn't, I won on the first try. One of the biggest things I did in the game was make meat eating illegal. It was a really hard policy to push and I lost a lot of support with my constituents, I nearly got ousted. But then pollution started going down, temperature slowed its rise, extinction went down, biodiversity went up, and everyone was happier. Within a few years my approval rating was back up and then some. I also banned cars and it was the same effect.
What I'm saying is your meat should be illegal.
