    If it’s dead, it’s dead. Whether you eat it or not, it won’t change anything. The purchase kills the animal, not the consumption.

    It only makes an ecological difference if you convert the generated calories into energy.

      the animal is usually dead before someone walks into the grocery store

      Sure, but let’s assume you want to eat x grams of animal products a week. You could either buy them and eat them, or buy them, have them expire, and then you have to re-buy them. The second one clearly sucks more.
