The decision is not between killing a million stalks of wheat or a cow, but between a million stalks of wheat or a cow AND a million stalks of wheat, it’s just that in the latter case the wheat was fed to the cow instead.
there are other differences, like vitamin a, b12, cholesterol, and macro ratios. and why should we disregard the (in this hypothetical) known suffering of the wheat but spare the cow? that’s speciesism.
edit: i think it’s important to point out that most ethical systems don’t attempt to simply weigh suffering, and i don’t personally subscribe to one that does, so i’m arguing at the edge of my personal belief here.
What does the cow eat?
i don’t care for your socratic interrogation. if you have something to say, say it.

Speciesism? I can’t tell if you’re just a troll at this point so I’m not going to continue this discussion, sorry.
have a nice day.
