Meat-eating problem

The meat-eatereating problem (sometimes called the meat-eater problem or poor meat-eater problem)problem) is the concern that some interventions aimed at helping humans might increase animal product consumption and as a result increase farmed animal suffering, e.g. by increasing real income or human population.

The meat-eatereating problem appears to have been first explicitly described in a Felicifia post from 2009.^[1]
