Take it in context, its not so weird.
I don't like to wash my own dishes - gross. Does that mean I should stop eating entirely?
I won't build my own car either - greasy, hot and dangerous. I don't weave cloth to make my own clothes. I don't cut my own hair. I don't do my own plumbing.
All of these are unpalatable for one reason or another. I guess I'll walk naked, hairy and hungry and dump on the ground.

No, but to continue that simile, you should probably stop bitching about people who choose to wash their own dishes.

Industrial agriculture also implies an animal death toll, even if only indirectly: http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/ordering-vegeta...
I have never understood people who eat meat, but can't stomach the idea of killing and preparing it themselves.
