I'm not talking about being complicit. I'm talking about exposure.
Just like you're not exposed to the child slavery that makes your cell phone possible, and that's good for your psyche.
But if you don't like that, be vegetarian.
Most people cope like you are here but it's honestly weird to see someone who is seemingly so self aware but also encourages this ignorance.
Remaining ignorant of these problems doesn't make them go away or make anyone any less complicit in perpetuating them.
It's worth considering that it's possible to eat without harming animals and it's possible to have a cell phone without child slavery.
Not knowing at all is one thing. Choosing to be willfully ignorant is another.
Yeah I agree.
