It's just sad seeing the dissonance between people who don't make the connection (or lack thereof) between simultaneously thinking "I have a dead, tortured animal on my plate" and "I'm a good person," especially when it's so easy to just not hurt animals.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. These behaviors are so normal because that contradiction is so commonplace.
that chicken was an animal that was raised in war-crime conditions and killed on a conveyor belt of death where it watched as its kin in front of it were stunned and then drowned.
That cheese comes from a cow who was fisted in the ass by a farmer so they could inseminate it (a process many would describe using an upsetting term beginning with the lettee 'r', were it done to humans), only to havw the resulting child ripped away from it before they could bond so that her milk, intended for her child, could be extracted by a cold machine and sold to humans.
Probably not the best examples to use in this situation.
