there's a lot of anti-vegetarian arguments that are silly, but i think one that is the most ridiculous is framing it as "well farming plants exploits workers so it's basically the same as the baby grinding machine"

which is so fucking ridiculous because

1: who do you think runs the slaughterhouses? it's not maniacal evil sadists wanting to see animals suffer, it is also exploited workers being forced into something that is actually Really Fucking Traumatizing to do full-time!

2: even if you ignore the exploited work in slaughterhouses (which is a wild thing to do), feeding animals also needs exploited farm labor to produce the feed! and significantly more of it than would be needed if that same land was used for human-viable food.

like i cannot stress enough that even if you ignore the ethical concerns of the animals, it is still significantly less exploitation to farm for vegetarian food sources than to farm for animal feed.

now obviously individual choices under capitalism do not solve its exploitation.

however, if you can't even start to abstain from something as simple as meat (and reducing your impact is so easy with that, "meatless mondays" is already 1/7 less), it kind of shows a weird approach to how you might see other things that would 100% need to be reduced in the post-capitalist world we want to make.
