VEGANS in Voices Windward

I thought this was smart of me.

"You seem to be under the illusion the man as a predator gets his meat naturally.

The reality is men in labcoats inject calves with growth hormones and all manner of unnatural crap while keeping them locked in cages their entire life which is at most 3/5 years instead of the natural 7 while the females have their teats cut off and are forced into machines that pump hormonally induced milk from them. When the predator comes he doesn't do so naturally he gases, or drowns in foam, or doesn't bother at all before tossing into a machine which boils and rips the skin off.

We don't do this as a natural method to retain nutrition over lean months, we do this whole sale on a vast scale for commercial design. most animal products not going into any food product or real value, nutritionally or otherwise.

It is an industry, a vile corporate endevor which not only offends the morals of the compassionate, but lowers the heath of the population, has seen countless forests torn down, pollutes the environment, has seen thousands of farmer suicides in the past few years alone due to monopolisation, stymies economic and social development and all in all not really needed to such a fashion in the modern day.

Don't make the mistake that all ethical eaters do so because of the fluffies. Don't make the mistake of thinking what you are eating is natural. Don't make the mistake of thinking the masses eat meat simply because it's all they know, and it's all that is sold to them.

Finally life is life, a potato is perhaps equal to a cow, but our biological and natural constrains and realities of life, let alone arguments over sapience and sentience over non conscious life would lead us to full fill our requirements for nutrition in the least damaging manner.

Which if we had our way would be organically farmed fruit and veg (either rural or tower farmed in cities) supported by processed materials such as seitan and qourn with a push into the technologies of food makers, replication and lab grown meats.

So you enjoy your fanatical adoration to a absolutist mindset, because it's what you've always done, and just ignore the silly hippies and the damage to the economy and ecology that the industrial meat industry brings."
