I know lots and lots and lots of vegetarians who think it's

Summary

This quote addresses the paradox that exists within the mindset of certain vegetarians. It suggests that some vegetarians recognize the ethical issues surrounding the killing of animals for food but choose not to consume meat due to disagreements with the methods employed within the meat industry. Essentially, these individuals have a moral objection to the process rather than the act itself. Therefore, while they acknowledge the potential hypocrisy, their ultimate decision to abstain from eating meat is driven by their perception of the treatment of animals within the industry.
