My wife, who is a vegetarian, doesn't consider eating meat immoral. She thinks that it is a personal decision. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could you explain why she thinks this way?
It's partially because she doesn't feel that she has the right to tell people how to live their lives. She's a vegetarian mostly for environmental reasons, rather than for animal rights.
She's also conflict averse, and the "individual choice" philosophy does tend to de-escalate conversations with meat eaters, who are often hostile to vegetarians.
