So far so good.

>but if you really like that stupid thing you wrote, above,

You mean if I like the significant fact that I pointed out. If you're
too stupid to understand it then the stupidity is on your side, but
what I pointed out is no less a significant aspect of the situation
just because you can't understand or appreciate it.

>please mop up your drool.

You have considered veg*nism, and consider it to be the most
ethical possible approach. You also admire veg*ns, and wish you
could get yourself to be one. Right? Even if not about every bit
of it, just from your reaction it seems clear that you believe veg*nism
is the most ethically possible approach. I don't.

Some animals raised for food have decent lives of positive
value, just as some have terrible lives. If you can't understand
that both of those facts are true, you're lost at the most basic
beginning of comprehension, not being able to comprehend the
most basic aspect of the whole thing. From there you just become
more bewildered and confused...we see a lot of that. Because of
an inability to comprehend the most basic, people who can't are
of course unable to move along to consider which animals have
lives of positive value and which don't, and why, etc...lost before
they/you ever get started, because they/you don't start at all.
