Organic or locally sourced produce is more expensive than cheaper alternatives.
Therefore, people buy it less.

But there are plenty of other sources available.
I was going to write a reply, but the above sums up my thoughts well.
The irony is strong in this thread.
OP is annoyed at the hypocrisy that he has read in another thread (So called animal lovers who eat meat).
OP starts a new topic, condemning such hypocrisy with gems like:
(Paraphrasing) "Dairy farming is worse, but I still eat dairy but feel uncomfortable about it."
Not to mention the silence regarding using products that derive or contain materials from animal waste / by products (sourced from the slaughter industry).
Damn those hypocrites in the other thread!
I don't think he even understands what I'm even talking about when I mentioned products derived from animals slaughter, as he just had a rant about dairy.
OP, I know most people have no idea just how many day to day items are made using animal derivatives, but when you want to field arguments like this, you should have at least do your homework.

He's not being hypocritical.
He's not defending his position on dairy: he's saying it's wrong. It's a weakness of his and something he seems to struggle to reconcile.
The hypocrisy elsewhere is the discrepancy between the value of life placed on a few dozen unwanted dogs when compared with millions of farmed animals. Many of which are significantly more intelligent than dogs, or significantly cleaner than dogs, or (arguably) rather more "cute".

But I don't eat much of it so the cost is irrelevant.

everything eaten in moderation, with the exclusion of things like rat poison ofcourse, is good for you, even meat.

I think the point of Spoffle's post is so far above your head you cannot comprehend it.
Or you are wilfully neglecting to offer your response because it does not suit your agenda, and in your heart you know he is right
Which is it?
The cost is irrelevant to you
Well, precisely. Meat isn't inherently bad for you. But convenience food tends to be. Not for it's meat content though(though quality can have an effect, the effect isn't quite so bad as the crazy levels of salt etc that come with convenience food).
To be fair, most animal derivatives we use are by-products of the meat industry. i.e. their existence is driven by meat, since that is the main value of the animal.
Err... what?
I own a cat. My cat eats meat - he needs it to survive. But, apparently, his requirement of eating meat is my choice.He'd eat that meat regardless of if he was my pet or roaming free.
I suggest you provide your brain with some more nutrients - it's clearly not working properly.
The point is that owning a cat isn't essential.
Skoda, people get fat because they eat a lot of refined carbohydrates and being lazy. Meat is expensive and is very satiating, you cannot get overweight on that alone. I'm not sure if you are ignorant or just a troll, but your FUD is getting annoying.

I'm doing my part.
I don't eat meat.
That's one less person taking the flesh of another animal unnecessarily.
The more that follow the better without a doubt. Fact.
That's good enough for me.
You sir are a bag of crazy.

Try reading it again, Einstein.
So you're a hypocrite then?
I mean, surely if your principle about not eating meat actually meant anything to you, then you'd rather starve than eat an animal?
You strike me as the absolute worst kind of vegetarian - the ones who won't eat meat 'because it's cruel!!!111oneoneeleven' and love to preach to others about why they shouldn't eat all the little cuddly animals but would drop the idea if it looked like they might go hungry.
And for that reason - I'm out.
Think I'll have pork ribs tonight....

Many obese people are fat because of eating an excess of meat, animal fat and animal products.
Study a chronically obese persons diet.
It's never mangos and bananas is it?
Read it again, and it's still nonsense.
Regardless of it is a pet or not, it would still be eating meat. It's a moot point.
