    If they do not expect you (or other people) to buy the meat, they won’t pay those people to raise / kill the pigs.

    I’m not responsible for managing other people’s expectations.

      No you’re not, but to dismiss that your actions still have influence on other people/systems is short-sighted.

      Once more, it’s fine if you eat meat. You don’t have to consciously manage other people’s expectations. But just know that you automatically do. Buying meat is supporting the future production of meat, that’s all.

        you are stretching the definition of"support" to meaninglessness.
