  when you buy pork, the person who killed the pig has already been paid.

    That’s just useless semantics, neither funny nor clever. The pig you bought may be dead, but the money you pay will be used to raise and kill other pigs.

      I give my money to the same people that you do: a grocer.

        It absolutely is. If you eat pork, you indirectly pay for pigs to be slaughtered. Full stop.

    It’s actually irrelevant whether or not you buy a product made from slave labour, the product is already made! How much product is made is completely independent of how much gets purchased, because that’s how markets work!
