Me: Here you are, eating a big steak. I thought you were vegetarian.
Him: I was. But I realised that there were more important things in the world than my own health.
Me: Like...?
Him: Biodiversity. Imagine if everyone stopped eating meat. There are all those species that have been bread by humans for hundreds or even thousands of years with one single purpose: to be eaten. If we stopped eating them, species like farm pigs and broiler chickens would have nowhere to live, and we would lose them as species. The only way to make sure that they survive as a species is to eat them as individuals.
Me: I think I'll have a salad. I would not risk salad going extinct.
