    Good analogy, yeah, meat should be treated like child porn.

    Outlawing something puts it on the unregulated black market. People will be buying unsafe meat.

    Meat isn’t addictive. If meat gives people food poisoning, then people won’t eat it. That’s a good thing.

      So your answer is that you do want meat eaters to be arrested by the police, tried in court, and sent to prison.

        You think law is synonymous with cops? What kind of excuse for an anarchist are you!?

      I have IBS-D there are over 300 foods I cannot eat or else my intestines get shredded and bleed out immense amounts of blood. I lost over 60 lbs of weight and currently weigh 130lbs as a 5.11 male. Doctors have tried everything and after 3 years they say i will just have to live with this.

      Some of the only food I can eat without issue is meat. I wish it wasnt this way, I’d love to become atleast vegetarian, but if I did I would die.

      Should I be put to jail or forced to do community service in your hypothetical?

        Ooh, you’re like dracula! Dracula is a vampire, and he has to drink the blood of innocents to sustain his immortal body or he’ll die. So his life centers around violating other people in a bloody and vaguely sexual cycle of violence. This is a classic Morbius sitution. It’s a trolley problem, except that you’re the only person on the first track, and you can pull the lever to switch the trolley onto a track with dozens of innocents.

          So you are calling me a monster because of a medical condition that I cannot help? Excuse my literal autism diagnosis, just trying to understand what your saying.

            Well most monsters can’t help being monsters either. “I’m a vampire and I don’t want to be” is a VERY established trope that really saw a surge in popularity in the 90s. That trope is also at the very core of the werewolf myth, and it’s present in zombie stories too. You know, the survivor who hides their zombie bite and gets everyone else killed through their hubris. They didn’t choose to be bitten by a zombie, but they did choose to harm others through their actions. Like you! You’re a monster movie trope.

              People like you make me depressed and sad. Would you rather I stop eating meat and just die from malnutrition? Maybe i should just die.

                I oppose violence in all forms. You ending your life would be a violent act, just as you paying to have animals killed so you can eat them is a much greater violent act.

                  I wish you never have to suffer my condition.
