It's only marginally helpful (although I thank you for the datapoint)
because I don't feel eating meat (of animals bred to be stupid meat animals)
morally wrong in and of itself, and I don't find doing things that are self
destructive necessarily morally wrong just because they are stupid (I go to
casinos even though I know I am going to lose), and I don't find taking
advantage of market inefficiencies to be morally wrong either (I'll collect
SSec if it is still around even though I know it's a ponzi)...
So I only have the weaker "it's not good for you" argument to use on myself
rather than the stronger "thou shalt not kill" argument you have available
to you...
