I don't think that a good analogy. i've never heard of a carnivore who thought meat eating was morally better. Their argument is that meat eating is not so much worse that it becomes an ethical no-no, rather than a ethically neutral lifestyle choice. (Morally level ground).

People can even carry on doing something they think is morally wrong on the excuse of akrasia.

And gay marriage is becoming slowly accepted.

I have. The argument went something like this:

  • For humans, an action that is natural for humans is more moral than an act that is not natural for humans, all else equal.
  • For humans, eating (some) meat is natural.
  • Therefore, for humans, eating (some) meat is more moral than not eating (some) meat, all else equal.

Presumably they hunt their own meat...going to the supermarket is pretty unnatural.
