1/ Effect on the economy by reducing the meat industry. 2/ The attitude that "I'm not making much impact". 3/ We've always done this so we should continue to do this. First point. Economies change and there are always winners and losers with change. If (and given your country's record of social service I don't like your chances) a government looks after its citizens people would be catered for. Second point. A huge number of people making a small difference can have a large impact. Of course individual rights are much more important than the collective so f*ck you all. Third point. Times change. Disclosure: I am not vegan.

1/ I disagree with the notion of universal morality. "Reasonable" is very subjective. Are you saying it is ok to impose your values upon others? "No, there is no such thing as a universal morality, and it is somewhat surprising that people are still asking this question in the 21st century. Then again, that doesn’t mean that anything goes, a la moral relativism. Of course, much depends on what one means by “universal,” so let’s try to parse things out a bit." Is there a universal morality? 2/ You and I live in countries where killing people is allowed under certain circumstances. 3/ Some actions might not cause harm but still be taboo or illegal.

I have read in popular media that both the US and Australia have reported on the potential for global conflict due to climate change. Already Somalia and Egypt have had words because there isn't enough water flowing down the Nile to support both countries. China has dammed the Mekong River so Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia are at the mercy of China.

Murder is not allowed. Killing in self-defense is sometimes not allowed or is punished. Killing accidentally is often punished. Capital punishment is barbaric, but it does exist. Regardless, we subscribe to the idea that an action doesn’t stand on its own as being moral or immoral—intent matters. Along this discussion, I am not subscribing to moral absolutes; there are gray areas. Again, there is a universal moral thread, but the conundrum seems to be how to reconcile the grey areas or dealing with those that like to rationalize obviously immoral behavior. As it pertains to the topic, we already have laws against poaching, killing endangered animals, animal abuse, dog fighting, eating certain animals, having certain exotic pets, etc. We just lack consistency because we rationalize an unnecessary diet. The degree and scale of animal abuse, pollution and ecology destruction would not be rationalized in many other contexts. On your third point, what are you thinking of?

When I made my comment I was thinking of governments sending defence personnel overseas to fight wars.
Childless sexual relationships between consenting siblings.

Age appropriate consenting siblings? What about age appropriate consenting parent and child or whatever? I understand the reasons behind the taboo. Besides potentially leading to birth defects, it often creates uncomfortable dynamics in the family and society, but in general, I don’t find this immoral. If we were bonobos then we might consider refraining from family fornications as odd, but even they look for genetic variety, as does most species, but incest in the animal kindom is not uncommon. Maybe it is telling that we have/had more states that allow people to marry their first cousin than marry a same-sex-partner (older pic):

My example was there to provide evidence that there might be far less taboo in our society than might be obvious. It is telling that so many states allow 1st cousin marriages. While this isn’t the same as siblings marrying, it isn’t too far off socially, even if it is a decent jump genetically (barely). While sentiment for same-sex-marriage has significantly improved in the last ten years, the relationship between the two is less important than the general illustration that interfamily marriage is far less taboo than some may realize.
