          Yeah, by everyone that buys meat. It’s simple. If we all stop buying it now they’re gonna run out and stop producing meat. The meat you buy today pays the meat that enters the store later.

            no, it doesn’t. it pays the store today. that’s it.

              And the store pays the supplier, the supplier pays the farm, and everything in between. Not sure if you’re being serious.

                after I spend my money, it’s not mine anymore and I don’t get to decide what happens to it. same is true whether I buy beans from the store or bacon.

            do you have a plan to get everyone to stop buying meat now? it sounds like a pointless hypothetical that we can’t even test.
