Rarity of disorder doesn't seem to deter other issues from being discussed, argued for, accepted and even legislated - the issues around sexuality and gender identity being a prime example. The same argument of "having no choice" applies, too. Why should this be any different?
From what I've picked up, it's because we found out how to use fire why our meat intake increased, and it is because of our increased meat intake that we were able to increase our brain capacity with the effect that it has decreased stomach size and wiring.
I eat vegetables, fruits and meat. So do the majority of people I know. I don't need an article to tell me where humans fall in that category. Humans in 2019.
Mahatma Gandhi grew up in a society that has a tradition stretching back into prehistory where vegetarianism was encouraged and actively practiced due to religious reasons. It's easier for him and his people to assume such a diet, since they are better adapted to it. It's harder for some to do go completely meatless, and for still others it's even fatal.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasons why people decide to not eat animals, especially if they are privy to the inhuman practices that big businesses use in the preparing of consumable meat, but I personally believe that there is more to the issues than what I hear being spread the most. I know people's hearts are in the right place; that's not the issue.
And Jupiter's memes are nice and all, but I actually worked with animals so I'm not a bleeding heart who thinks that the best way to tackle issues is to "raise awareness" on the internet.
Obviously, humans exhibit the behavior of omnivores and this is not some new trend, it's been going for several million years at least. This is a hard fact and there is no question about it. But this really is not the problem. After all, one cannot expect a being to go against its own genetical programming. The problem is HOW they practice this.
Personally, I could never really self-identify as a human (which can be a little bit weird when you are experiencing life from the perspective of the human body and on the planet surrounded by humans ). So, I'm not going to pretend to understand human ways because I really don't. For this reason, I always tried to stay away as far as possible from this "Earth drama". But as an impartial observer, I cannot help to notice several issues closely connected to the subject of meat eating.
First, as you mentioned yourself, there is cruelty. Through most of human meat eating history, meat meal has been a rare treat reserved for special occasions. Nowadays, the situation has gotten completely out of control. Modern slaughterhouses are really not different from Nazi gas chambers.
Also, the way human society is organized (or shall I say disorganized) is going to hit a dead end very soon. Maintaining what is popularly called "the way of life" will become impossible because it is not sustainable in the long run and humans will run out of planet to exploit. Now, what do you think, how will humans resolve this? By mutual agreement and cooperation and by planning maybe even 300 or 500 years ahead which will require some personal sacrifice from many future generations of humans? Everything is possible but that'll be the first. Or they will resolve this by an old-fashioned human way: with war and bloodshed.
Also very important, humans are rapidly destroying all life on the planet. Floating through space on a lifeless rock, surrounded only by their own madness isn't going to be much fun.
You’ve been brainwashed by liberal media...
As for the stuff that you deem valuable, like money and possessions, as far as I am concerned you can have it all. It's all worthless, it's a prison.
Since you're not sympathetic to the human perspective, this view shouldn't bother you. I think that humans will be eradicated before we are allowed to destroy this planet. The species is very much linked to the Earth occultly, and we're not the masters.
Eradicated by what? And destroy the planet how?
All we’re doing is manipulating materials and exploiting resources on the planet to increase our quality of life. I don’t know how we’re destroying anything.
I don’t know what you mean by Earth occulty or how we’re not masters...
The Age of Aquarius.....eradication by Man.......we will destroy ourselves, and we seem to be working toward it quite well.......boom-chaka-boom
Like nuclear weapons?
It could just be pollution and the inability to breathe......or drink water.....or it could be boom.....or? but it is the age of aquarius's time......and destruction by man will happen......
he is the water bearer......hydrogen?
Good luck
trying to live without money
and not owning anything.
Lol
At least as a homeless loser you can use the public
library to post on the forums.
And leech off
the people who have money
and possessions.

It’s because of fossil fuels
we have more clean water,
quality of life is better,
people can live longer,
and more people can live at one time.
You think 3rd world countries
would be better off without fossil fuels?
They’ll never be able to rise
to our standard of living
unless they exploit the environment
like we do.
Getting rid of fossil fuels
because of some pollution
is going to decrease
the quality of life
for everyone.
