Replaceability argument

The replaceability argument, or the logic of the larder, is a philosophical argument against vegetarianism. It holds that consuming animal products can benefit animals because, if they were not consumed, fewer animals would be brought into existence. The argument has been discussed especially in utilitarian ethics.
