    yeah, yummy meat. I like it a lot. Sometimes i salt it than dry it myself, and god, does it taste delicious. I might be bothered by the cruelty of all this meat industry, but guess what, if i were to choose, i’d rather be a farm pig. Anything actually that does not comprehend the cruelty of this reality, and i’m not talking about farms here. Also, unlike most of us they go away quickly.

    P.S. fyi, latest studies show that plants might also feel the pain. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it seems like we are just doomed to bring more suffering in this world. You better find a way to cope with this before it became more researched.

        good point. i don’t kill them though, silly, there are people to do it for me.

        Also, unlike us, animals eat literal grass which does not require all kinds of fossil fuel machines, tons of earth-polluting pesticides, you know, stuff like that. Also we don’t need to exterminate trees in order to be able to herd them, you know, that long things sticking up from the ground, producing oxygen, green all the spring, summer, and even autumn, unlike wheat and stuff.

          First of all, humans are animals, the term you’re looking for is non-human animal. Secondly, grass fed is a myth, theyre fattened up on corn and soy all the same, you should know that the vast majority of deforestation ; the vast majority of monocropping, is done to sustain animal agriculture

              Theres a reason thats not common, its way more expensive and less efficient in terms of land use, also you might think of grassy fields as being super sustainable but theyre not a natural ecosystem, theyre a monocrop like any other where shrubland or forests have to give way to grazing fields, in the uk where I’m from the majority of our land is dedicated to these kind of fields already and its decimated our natural forests. There is no world in which feeding cows pigs chickens and sheep on grass only including finished feed reduces land use it would increase it. J.poore 2017, a comprehensive metastudy on land use and emissions of the global food sector found that a global transition to plant based diets would lead to a 70% reduction in land use, they looked at thousands upon thousands of farms accross the world yes including “grass fed” farms

                  It remains the case that the majority of farmland is for animal agriculture, and grazing only on grass would increase land use not decrease it, as it stands the vast majority of murdered farm animals are fattened up on soy and corn feed. Suggesting that the most environmentally sound thing to do is to just feed them all grass something which we physically don’t have the land for is ridiculous

      You should try dog if you get the chance, Elwood dog farm has a low impact factory farm where you can buy Labrador cuts and some gamier breeds if they’re in stock.

          Great, so we agree no animals are ethically off limits to kill and consume. How about… Some of the more simple minded human populace? Like, if through IQ testing we find the bottom 5% of humans, and (without eating brain and spine, avoiding prion diseases) feed them to the masses? They’re probably not terribly much smarter than dogs, and they could help curb food shortages. Or are humans off limits?

            Don’t bring your eugenicist ideas into my human meat market. As long as they’re fed a healthy corn based diet it’s fine.
