Suppose that I’m a vegetarian, but I really like sausage (maybe I acquired the taste before becoming vegetarian), but there are, for some reason, no makers of vegetarian sausages. Should I then accept whatever sausage is available which has the least amount of meat in it? Of course not; I’ll simply go without sausage.
Even if a sausage maker came along and tried to attract the vegetarian buyers with a new kind of sausage which had no meat in it, just a little bit of gelatin in it. They say they can’t currently make vegetarian sausage without any gelatin in it, but they’re working on it. Should I “support” them and buy the sausage with gelatin in it anyway? Of course not; I’m a vegetarian; gelatin means it’s off the table.
(I’m not necessarily really a vegetarian, of course; it’s just an analogy.)
