It's simple, actually.

The number of people who like to eat animals is larger than the number people who like to, that.

    On a significant level this is basically it.

    I don’t believe moral facts exist and so every permissible behaviour ultimately is affected by societal expectations as well as individual inclination.

    People clutch pearls over anything and everything but it’s interesting to observe how what was a pearl clutching behaviour previously (I.e. showing some ankle in Victorian era England) is now not even a concern.
