# They could be Japanese.
An interesting turn of er, logic.

Why is it hypocritical or pious to eat Tofu?
(Why anyone likes it is beyond me)
Surely it is more hypocritical to like animals and then have them killed for food.

You can eat what you like and you'll never catch me actually complaining about it, people can choose.

Is having some sort of ethical belief wrong these days?

# "Ethics" is a term used specifically to preach to others.
It's trying to get 'round self-proclaimed "ethics" using rhetoric that's the problem.

If you like meat, eat meat. Why give up meat to replace it with a "meat substitute" if you like eating meat?

# Some people who liked meat might decide it's not for them and substitute something else with protein in it.
I prefer personal ethics rather than preaching.

Example: Small number of people decide that selling anyone mortgages will get them commission (who cares about lies, telling untruths is just business/maturity), way down the line some poor bastards get to pay for it and we have a financial crisis. Ethics FAIL.

# Small group of persons is rich, and don't care.
I wouldn't say that's fail.

# From their point of view.
The others might not agree.
It is found that sociopathy can be a successful route in business.
