That people aren't willing to even question how animal suffering has been normalized to the extent it has. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan even if I'm trying to reduce meat consumption. But I've had this conversation with people and some don't even want to discuss this while eating arguing it ruins their appetite. I think its a great thing that Lab-grown meat could end the suffering of animals in many ways in the future. And people will look back and ask how we could ever do something so awful to animals.

What I think is sad is that for the short foreseeable future animal suffering will still be treated as normality and nothing will change until there is no reason or way it will inconvenience humans in any way to shift away. I find that morally appalling to some regard

I think A LOT of people are completely unaware.

There’s an entire subset of people who essentially create their own reality and anything that contradicts it is immediately rejected, completely at a subconscious level, so the idea of questioning doesn’t even cross their minds.
