Do you care about the effects of your vices?

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) October 31st, 2011

Lots of our indulgences carry the risk of exploitation—pornography isn’t always made by people who are happy to be in the business, recreational drug use (even marijuana) is associated with powerful and dangerous drug cartels, your cheeseburger probably didn’t come from a cow that happily donated its life to your dinner, and so on.

I am not interested in debating the relative merits of each of these things, although feel free to add that in if you want. What I’m really interested in is: Whatever your vices, do you consider where they come from and who else they affect? If so, how do you reconcile their consequences with your desire for them, or do you?
