/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Fundamentally flawed.

Logically speaking, a global vegan diet is simply not sustainable. We need meat production in order to maximize the number of people we can feed, and we'll continue needing it until technology progresses to the hypothetical point in which other forms of food production make it unnecessary.

If it's not possible for the entire world to adhere to it then it can't be seen as a moral position to take. On top of that, while it's healthy to show empathy for animals, it has to be rationally understood that animals don't necessarily suffer in the same way humans do because of their significantly lower brain capacity. Some animals, however, shouldn't be harvested or hunted at all because of their intelligence (dolphins and great apes, for example), and we should still be as humane as possible when slaughtering animals to be used for meat.

That being said, we probably eat too much meat. Western society has gotten to the point where many people can't imagine having a meal without meat.

Optimally, you should only eat meat maybe two or three times a week.

I'm a fan of the 'Eat what you kill movement'.

Real men eat wild game.

I already do that.
