"I would stop sexually assaulting people if there was a more ethical option but sadly there isn't, so I have to go on =((("
Certainly an... unconventional example to apply it on, but you got the gist of the idea, yes.
A less edgy example could be "I would buy drinks in a returnable glass bottle, but sadly everything is sold in disposable plastic bottles where I live, so I don't have that option". If you prefer such sexual examples, you do you.
Nah, I like my analogy better, since it highlights the direct injustice done to the individual.
The point is, you do have the choice to simply stop, you just don't give a shit about animals, just like someone who values their sexual pleasure over the bodily autonomy of their victims doesn't give a shit about them either.
Cool! Anyway, your point is lab grown meat won't be popular, my point is it will be. Now that your analogy helped you understand, I guess you agree with me now, since you are changing the topic to different points like "you do have the choice to simply stop", which were never disputed.
