If you could redesign human beings from scratch, would you make it so that you enjoy eating animals as your food, or would you offer yourself a less gross alternative for getting energy & nutrition into your body?
The concept of ingesting an animal’s carcass & bodily fluids into my own body has always grossed me out on some level, even as a young kid, but I largely accepted it for myself because animals packaged as food has become so productized. It mostly doesn’t look like the insides of animals when processed & packaged, and I don’t see their dying face or skeleton. Plus there’s the social momentum of historical & current norms being on the side of ingesting animals, which makes you think about it even less.
However, after checking out & thinking about more details regarding modern meat, I’m officially extremely grossed out. I’ve done this before, but I’ve hit a breaking point this time. So I’m checking out vegetarian (no meat) & vegan (nothing animal) diets. I’d also like to get away from chemical processed crap foods and generally try to eat real nutritious organic (no killer chemicals) & whole (non-processed) foods. So I’m currently looking for convenient substitutes of food that taste good. But, overall, I feel it’s largely worth having foods be less good tasting on my tongue than go on ingesting the bodies of animals.
So all of this organic, vegetarian, raw, vegan stuff is not just a weird, new age, zen, hippie thing. I don’t care thaaat much about the moral stuff. I’m just clearly seeing animal body consumption for what it physically is and am extremely grossed out by it. So this alternative diet stuff is also for modern-day, greedy, hedonistic capitalists like me who want to be more healthy and who don’t want to have to INGEST THE DEAD CARCASSES & BODILY FLUIDS OF OTHER BEINGS AS FOOD.
Especially in the 21st century, we should be doing shit like developing internet & medical technologies, expanding alternative culture & social liberation, building flying cars, creating a global digital economy, etc …not ingesting dead animals into our bodies like disease-laden cavemen.
Excuse me sweetie, please pause the $100 Million blockbuster film playing on our cutting-edge digital home theater system, while I lick the animal tissue blood from my fingers and wash it down with some white milky udder puss.
Go watch an actual video of thousands of animal bodies being gutted & blended together into your bloody “meat patty” that you call your next meal.
I hope you like feces & eyeball.
