Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Well, definitely fits the prompt. Can I ask a follow up question? Why do you think it’s unethical to eat meat?

    I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the concept in general. Factory farms are hell holes. But I’m having trouble connecting your two points. But to me, the ethical issues with eating meat come down to the suffering the animal endured. If it’s a meat substitute, or eventually lab grown meat, that suffering doesn’t exist. So the ethical issues don’t apply.

      If it is unethical to eat a thing than it’s unethical to eat something acting like that thing. Consider my cannibalism example.

        But it’s not unethical to eat meat in itself, it’s because of the needing to kill an animal. The taste/shape/flavor of meat isn’t the unethical part right?

        That’d be like saying it’s unethical to take free gifts because stealing is wrong.
