It could be worse fallacyWhat if you are the supervisor at a publishing company and complain to one of your writer employees that his writing is poor quality. The writer responds saying that the boss should be happy that it was that quality because it could have been worse. The writing he turned in is “good” because it is better that an even worse version which he could have turned in.
I have seen this in relationships too. Say your partner has an annoying habit. You ask them to please stop. He or she says, “You should be thankful that I dont do this more than I do already.” They are presenting their present annoying behavior as good because this is better than hypothetical more annoying behavior which they could do. |

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.
