Let's also assume the action itself is not ethically a problem for you (cooking vegan dishes is not an ethical problem in itself for me, or let's assume you would go buy cigarettes with their own money, so it's not your money that you give the tobacco industry).
Now my question is: would you do it? |
The *real* question is: is this the sort of example you want to set for others?
Answer truthfully, and see how it feels. Acknowledge that feeling and act accordingly.
