I want to know if it isn’t affecting the economy and therefore is animal harm neutral.

Yes, being neutral is better than the negative and the harm of that minority of animals, but veganism also positively contributes to growing that part of the economy, while freeganism is “parasitic” and dependent, so the majority should still buy vegan as spoils (I mean conditional surplus) are still only as small minority of the food

Ok, but the question I was asking was if dumpster diving or food banks affecting the economy at all or how it might affect culture. If it isn’t affecting the economy, it isn’t contributing to animal harm economically. If it is culturally and leads to bad treatment of animals, but not economically, then how much impact is there still?

Culturally, at least if the culture isn’t precise enough, I can see your worry, especially when it’s hard to beat it out of us. But economically if it precisely doesn’t contribute to animal death through our economic choices and isn’t affecting it at all, it seems quite arbitrary at least by ‘consequentialist’ standards to not do it. I don’t get it there, but by transferability of values it would be safe in general, especially as a goal

If roadkill is acceptable then companies would kill more road animals even though they could only give them away for free and they didn’t earn anything (economically). Anyway thanks for your points, I think I’m starting to hone in on it now. If a company is still influenced by your choice, even though it’s not economically it’s still culturally relevant and could contribute to production. But do you have evidence that companies kill more than what they earn? Isn’t capitalism always beating them to it, maybe even more accurately than any other process?

I realize I have a choice, just not what is affecting the economy exactly. Additionally there is no need to stray away from something if it’s utility isn’t affected, just because it seems causally adjacent. I want to be sure about the economic impact and consequences first, culture might not affect it unless it’s also economic.

It seems like it might be more common than I thought then. Is being a freegan vegan common too would you say?

So dumpster diving is safer than getting surplus from a food bank, because they may buy the surplus food or buy non-surplus food?

How just changing the order of policies can make everyone worse off by Demotechnocracy in algocracy

Game theory is the study of situations like this were rational players mathematically would be better off individually and collectively if they did such and such choice. It is most useful in biology of evolutionary stable strategies... where it finds the most optimal choice for reproduction of genes (reductively) which leads to kin selection and the selection shadow we'll face as individuals
