    I agree, morals are a societal thing and right now it’s perfectly socially acceptable to eat meat.

    How I apply this to my own actions is by conforming to the made up rules of society because that seems to keep me alive.

    If I lived in a vegan society and it was not socially acceptable to eat meat I likely wouldn’t.

    Nothing is inherently wrong with cannibalism.

    I’m not a moral realist. So I don’t believe in moral facts I.e. that murder is ‘wrong’ or being charitable is ‘right’

    It’s kid stuff (IMO) to believe in mystical rights and wrongs of the universe. The universe does not care one iota that you cease to exist tomorrow or if all humans were to become extinct (IMO).

    If you disagree please point me to the source of your morals, how do you know what’s right and what’s wrong?

    I can deny the importance of human experience (the heat death of the universe will erase all traces of our existence and impact) without wanting to kill humans right now.

    How did you conclude the experiences of animals matter?

    How do you know animals are having experiences?

    How do you know human experiences matter?

    I don’t claim to have any answers to the above but I’ve never heard a satisfactory answer to these questions other than ‘I just believe it is so’ and if it boils down to my belief versus your belief I have to conclude that neither one of us actually has any idea.

    The whole taste argument completely ignores nutrition.

    Why don’t you only eat potatoes? Do you derive taste pleasure from B12 supplements?

    Attaching a system of morality to a diet is just religion.

    I maintain that veganism is just halal/kosher for atheists/agnostics.
