If I pay a hitman after a job is done, I can’t stand in court and say, “I can’t be responsible for something somebody else did in the past”.
this isn’t analogous to how most people get meat. the person who did the killing is paid long before most people walk into a grocery store or restaurant. and so has everyone else along the supply chain.
You are describing a static transaction, but the food industry is a continuous cycle. You are pretending the grocery store is a one-time clearance sale, rather than a rolling inventory system.
they may want to stay in business, but sometimes, they don’t. my purchase doesn’t guarantee that they stay in business, nor that they maintain their current business practices. in short, i’m not responsible for what they may do in the future.
