    A lot of people are really like

    Oh no! Anyway…

    I remember being that myself. I ignored the facts, it was easy to do so in an environment where everyone did that. It changed when my environment changed and I really thought about the animal industry and how I contributed to it. It also happened in a time where I had the privilege to take the time, think about it and make the necessary changes, also thanks to availability of products in supermarkets, as well as meals at university.

    Addendum: Additionally, people are kind of gate-kept from the “truth” by capitalist interests, through a stronger disconnect between the product you buy and how it is produced, obscuring the origin, process and actual ingredients. Even if people know, how something is produced, it is easy to abstract the final product from it, not having to face you cognitive dissonance.
