it's the diet of future: not eating animals.

Best part is we live in the future (2017) in case you forgot so there are new science food shit coming out every day. Being vegan now isn't being vegan 10 years ago isn't being vegan 10 years from now. Just few weeks ago this crazy plant burger came to the east coast. They like inject with hemoglobin or some shit to bring it closer to the taste of meat.

Jump on now before it's cool and everyone's doing it. The more people that vote for vegan foods with their wallet, the faster we have crazier and crazier scientifically generated animal product substitutes.

You want to taste a fucking dragon? They can probably do that. A larger vegan market means more funding to lab grown meats.

I'd really like you to post some sources that a properly planned vegan diet is less healthy than a properly planned omnivorous diet. Of course it can be dangerous under certain circumstances but those circumstances are precisely an improperly planned diet.

In some parts of the world that's necessary (and what you did is certainly infinitely more sustainable than store-bought meat) but fundamentally it's not necessary in the western world, so being real I don't see why you'd want to.

Tradition and personal satisfaction

I generally think traditions are a dangerous flaw in humans, and I don't value my own personal satisfaction over another animal's life when there are other ways of achieving it. That's my take at least

Agreed, if we're taking "future" in the sense that means "superior"

It won't catch on because "eww, bugs!" but it's obviously the way

What do you think about this, TC? You fine with people eating bugs? I think it'd be more ethical than raising mammals/birds for eating, myself

Sustainable af and ethically better than mammals/birds but I'd still prefer food which we can guarantee was never sentient at any point

I choose not to go down that rabbit hole cause you hit philosophical bedrock fast. You start playing around with the absolute ontological nature of morality and you just get nonsense results either way you choose.

well, most animals don't really comprehend what's going on. they're just motor functions. and if i was going to be some animal's lunch, well, i'd probably stop caring once i'm dead.

that still doesnt explain why it's bad for someone to eat bacon tho

I mean if you've ever had a dog I think you'd understand they're more than motor functions. Sure you'd stop caring after you're dead, but you still wouldn't agree to be another animal's lunch. It's bad to eat bacon cause 1. you're unnecessarily killing an intelligent being for pleasure and 2. you're indirectly harming other people by supporting an unsustainable industry that has dramatic negative effects on the climate

so what you're saying is that in order for someone to think like you, they need to be emotionally invested into an animal like a dog? that seems quite stupid and not logical. food is food. cattle aren't going to know that they're about to become someone's beef.

what I said was that "if you were emotionally invested in an animal like a dog, you'd understand they're more than motor functions." what you came away with was that "if you understand animals are more than motor functions, then you must be emotionally invested in an animal like a dog." you switched the logical implication in the other direction, you see that? it's backwards. No you don't need to be emotionally invested into an animal like a dog, but you must have some understanding of their similar level of consciousness, which since you seemed to lack, I tried to spur on with the dog example.

And you really seem to be underestimating how shitty cattle are treated. if I gave evidence that they suffered physically or emotionally, would you accept it or change the goalposts?

well we gotta establish some axioms. like do you value human life? the life of any mammals? what is reasonable cause to cause another human suffering? other mammals?

i read the entire thing. too many weasel words and too much lack of precision as to how much consciousness is relevant and how they even define consciousness. let me know when cattle have consciousness and self awareness in any meaningful sense, k? it's pointless to talk about an animal's affective states or consciousness if neither of those are in any capacity worth mentioning

a cow planning to eat more grass at sunrise certainly doesn't make it wrong to eat beef

i have no reason to believe that animals have any meaningful capacity for understanding, except for maybe dolphins and ravens and some monkeys. and that's a big maybe, one that certainly doesn't prevent those animals from eating one another or from being eaten by animals that don't give a fuck LOL!!!!!

if someone cannot adopt your level of understanding without having been emotionally invested into a pet dog, you don't have an argument - you have just an appeal to emotion

hey man, i asked what system of ethics you used to claim that it's not ethical to use animals for food. you could easily answer that question without trying to interrogate me as to what my own views are.

and axioms are self evident. if we need to "establish" them in this conversation then clearly they are not self evident and maybe you don't understand basic logic
