Meat is a choice and it’s a bad one.

how can you look at this and not see child labor as the obvious problem?

no one should be forced to work in these conditions

is anyone being “forced”? i agree, nobody should be forced, especially not children.

lots of people are being forced, often immigrants and refugees. would you like to slash throats all day in the dismemberment factory?

you’re assuming a lot here about the workers in that plant

wow, you haven't looked into this, like, at all

and you have? what, with all the evidence you have to back up your claim?

literally the first article that came up searching for slaughterhouses
https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/11/489468205/working-the-chain-slaughterhouse-workers-face-lifelong-injuries

The workers, most often immigrants and resettled refugees, slaughter and process hundreds of animals an hour, forced to work at high speeds in cold conditions, doing thousands of the same repetitions over and over, with few breaks.

not that I expect evidence to change your mind

ok, so you and the author of this article clearly have a problem understanding the word “forced”-- if they can choose to quit, they’re not being “forced”. yes, the job is terrible, and conditions should be improved, but it’s clear that you care more about people processing/eating meat that these people’s working conditions. and that’s why this isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is.

just more obliviousness

“i disagree, so i’ll insult you”

there are literal entire countries (including Canada off the top of my head) who have told other countries and their resettlement orgs 'we see you have a humanitarian crisis, but we're only accepting refugees if they work in our slaughterhouses'
I recognize you're completely entrenched in this baffling perspective and it's kinda hard to look at, honestly. you've got that "when sea levels rise, everyone living on the coasts should just sell their houses and move" kind of energy.

Since you have to mischaracterize my statements to such a degree just to make your point, you really don’t have that much of an argument, at least not with me. The amount of mental gymnastics you just performed in order to pull some kind of “gotcha“ on me is something you should’ve saved the Olympics a few weeks ago.

I suggest you direct your anger where it belongs, rather than random Internet strangers.

someone pointing out the obvious isn't a 'gotcha' and it says a lot that you think it is
