    I’m saying grocery stores don’t keep a pile of money segregated that only-comes-from-and-is-only-spent-on vegan food. when the 4th of July rolls around, they stock up on hotdogs with whatever money is on hand.

    I’m also saying your policy of not giving money to grocery stores just isn’t workable for most people.

      Grocery stores keep budgets and expense reports. They downscale whatever products aren’t selling or making them money. It’s called running a business.

          But you get to influence which decisions are profitable. When you pay them money in exchange for dead animals, you create incentive for them to arrange for there to be more dead animals

              Wow, you found a way to pay for corpses and somehow contrive yourself into not being responsible for the deaths

                  So if I gave money to an assassin and told him to kill you, I wouldn’t be responsible for his actions?

                    this analogy doesn’t hold up: the meat is on a shelf and everyone has been paid before I decide whether to buy it.
