The cost of killing is tied to that package of minced meat whether you accept it or not.
buying meat today can't have caused an animal in the past to be killed, since an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past.
Carnist mental gymnastics at its finest.
So hypothetically - if everyone in the world stopped buying and eating meat tomorrow you are of the opinion that the animal ag industry will continue killing animals well into the future without any income or incentive to do so?
An event in the present (purchasing animal products) will financially support and incentivise people to kill animals in the future.
Do you seriously not understand this?
my understanding of linear time, causation, and human behavior has led me to my current position. if you think you know something i don't, i'd love to hear it.
