This is why I object when people say diet is a personal choice and we shouldn't criticize people for what they choose to eat.
I don't think it's helpful to be judgemental or accusatory. But it's also true that if you eat meat you are also exacerbating problems that affect us all. Including climate change, antibiotic resistance, and new epidemics that arise from raising animals in conditions in which they were never intended to live.
I also think it's an example of how the conditions we oppose on animals eventually rebound on the conditions we impose on each other. Once you start to devalue life to such an extreme degree it starts to snowball.
