Children motivated by morality rather than social norms when it comes to question of eating animals, according to study https://phys.org/news/2022-11-children-morality-social-norms-animals.html

“Adults, by contrast, tend to use social-based reasoning to justify the consumption of meat, citing that it is "natural" and "necessary" to do so—although they too will lean upon moral considerations if they take the counter view.”

“ This new insight into the relative prioritization of moral concerns regarding animals builds upon research published earlier this year that revealed how children think animals should be treated just as well, if not better than humans. This is a belief children may tend to lose during adolescence when they begin to develop a sense of moral hierarchy that gives different values to different animals.”

“In these cases, some of the children are saying it's 'okay' to eat animals but they're still expressing concern for animal welfare. You can see them wrestling with the moral dilemma in that reasoning. It may well be the case that many simply do not fully understand the connection between the animal, death and food.”

This is their original nobility is fighting back against their ancestry.
