The "ethical" food typically cost more -- what if they can't afford it? Would you give them financial aid, or does your preaching stop at words?
In case you missed it, I made a point of scoping this ethical question to people who do have the means to make choices with their consumption. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to make ethical choices provided that they are able.
I wouldn't tell someone not to shoot an oncoming attacker because murder is unethical. In the same vein if someone has no choice in what they can eat, it would be ridiculous to tell them to try to 'make ethical choices'.
Shooting an oncoming attacker isn't murder. Not a great comparison.
So not the point though
That's fine, you can pick your example of choice then.
Person A is presented with ethical dilemma X. They are in a position where they can freely make a choice.
Person B is presented with the same ethical dilemma X. They are not in a position where they are able to freely make a choice.
Person B is not obligated to try to pick the more ethical choice in dilemma X, since they are unable to freely make a decision.
Rice veggies and beans is among the cheapest of foods.
It's also great depression food if you eat it regularly!
And anyway, not everybody can eat all the same foods. Plenty of people can't eat beans without shitting their brains out, for example. Likewise with a lot of vegetables, though then it depends on the type of vegetable.
Honestly. I absolutely agree that it's a great cheap and healthy meal, and it's one I eat just about every day. But it tends to be the only suggestion I see people make in these threads. Like don't get me wrong, it's a great suggestion, but c'mon
