honestly, there are far greater ethical concerns plaguing the universe than how my food was treated prior to me eating it. i know this little slice of evil is something that is actually within an individual's control, but if you really want to save the world, then use your energies elsewhere. remember, the very fact that you can choose what you eat is a luxury that many people in this world will never know...

what sort of advice is this? you admit in the preceding clause that this is something within our control, why should someone who wants to make a difference devote their energy elsewhere? and what are these far greater ethical concerns? the way humans treat the living beings with whom we share this planet seems like a rather large, valid concern. sure there are others, perhaps a few you might consider "greater" but i don't see how that means we should divert attention from this issue.
