I did start caring more about animals after I went vegan. I was never frying ants for fun, but I also never got sad about petting zoos, for example.

So hey, maybe it’s more common that people adopt a moral system that makes meat seem less like food no matter how they start out.

Yes, of course that would be the case.

We come pre-built with a TON of instinct that initially drives our behaviour but we can override those with some information and effort by our big brains.

Perhaps I should have said it differently. After decades of being a vegetarian, I went plant-based for the environment, then fairly quickly went vegan, because I started caring about animals a lot more.

I don’t know if that’s just as obvious, but I was definitely surprised.
