Taste is a proxy for nutrition. Murdering people is bad not because of some abstract causing of pain or whatever(otherwise youd have nothing against killing people with heroin would you?) but because murder begets murder, making existence of organized society very hard and inefficient. Killing animals doesn't cause such problems so it's irrelevant.

Meat animals exist to be killed.

Please explain ketchup

> Murdering people is bad not because of some abstract causing of pain

Let’s just say it’s not, pain and suffering are still bad things youd want to minimize

You could say that the bad thing about death isn’t pain itself but the lost of life (otherwise an instant death would not be bad), based on the axiom that life is a good thing. You could also make your own axiom that only human lives are good.

So massacring uncivilized tribals that are not part of your organized society, like in the colonial days, is OK?

Do you eat ketchup without anything? It has little value on its own.

Am I back to country side? Why is there so much straw here?
