Thanks for any recommendations in advance.

    Eating meat is natural and occurs whether you and I exist or not.

    So is killing the top ape in your troop so you get his harem. So is eating the babies of the former troop leader so you free up the female apes to care for your offspring instead of his. Nature is a hellhole and more importantly, isn’t a deity or even a conscious being. It has no morals, nor a will, nor any opinions on how living things should act.

    If you’re going to enjoy the comfort of modern technology, especially modern food production technology, the “nature” argument is not applicable because none of the food you eat is remotely natural. You’re welcome to sharpen a stick with your teeth and use your real human hunting skills to get your meat, i.e. chasing down wild animals until they die from exhaustion. Better hope that wild bull with razor sharp horns that weighs three times more than you doesn’t figure out that they can just turn around and attack you head on, because hunting large animals is lethal to the hunter almost as often as it’s lethal for prey. You also better not use any antibiotics if your hunt leaves you wounded, because animals getting slowly and horrifically killed by bacterial infection is natural and occurs whether you and I exist or not. Microbes are your only real predator so you better respect that.

      Just because things are natural doesn’t mean you can’t apply reason. Anything that’ll end up killing ourselves, in the greater picture, is petty stupid, especially if it only provides short term comfort we easily can do without.

      Typical vegan mindset, categorical for everything. Since taxa is the same for you no matter the level, hey, why do you eat your brothers fungi, herbs and tree babies? Are you some kind of a cannibal?

        I’m not even vegan lol, strongly considering it though and you’re helping :)

        Do you not know what cannibal means? It’s not a general purpose insult for people with dietary choices you don’t like, it actually has a definition and it’s not an animal eating plants and fungi. If you’re going to resort to name calling, at least make the effort to come up with a clever zinger or something.

        But if you care about plant lives so much, you should in fact be vegan. Feeding animals to kill and eat requires 10x more plants than just eating the plants yourself. It would also dramatically reduce the amount of farmland required to support humanity, meaning literally more space on the planet for more natural forests and grasslands that contribute to the ecosystem.

        Finally, you thought I was talking about chimps or something and not humans? You don’t think prehistoric humans when they first became their own species, before the idea of a society or even a tribe developed, lived in social structures similar to the other very closely related ape species that we literally split off from? Even something like a hunter gatherer tribe is still a fairly complex society that needed time to develop. What were we doing before that? We were all chilling in the savannah with absolutely no conflicts between members of our species? Even within complex societies, fighting and killing your way to the top was the norm for the vast majority of human history.

          You should become a vegan. More power to you.

          I do care for plants and the planet, but seeing the world become vegan is an army of unicorns, and not even an option, in my opinion. I know what an ape is, I know not all apes behave like you described and I know what a cannibal is.

          Ultimately, I’ll eat whatever I can and whatever I’m comfortable eating. Don’t come calling me a “murderer”, an “immoral”, or a “torturer”, that’s just toxic.
