    Way too many people in the comments thinking they're serious.

    This is top tier shitposting.

    A shoutout to steve1989! For eating US Civil War Hard Tack and Boer War canned Bully Beef! And every WW2 ration he can get.

    He sure can wax poetic about the flavors of each one.

    But it was a really smart cow, a cow like that you don't eat all at once.

    This says a lot about the average carnist mindset. A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals. I think there would be a lot more vegans if people knew and were fully aware of the consequences

    If only they were as smart as you, and they could figure out that chicken comes from chickens, or that fish comes from fish. They just never put 2+2 together.

    I invented a device called 'Burger on the Go'. It allows you to obtain 6 regular size hamburgers, or 12 sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it. Sharper Image is still considering it. Sky Mall's still considering it. Hammacher Schlemmer is still considering it. Sears said no.

    I think people use compartmentalisation to avoid thinking about the consequences when they eat. I bet if you went to a slaughterhouse and saw the death, and if you read the science on the effect they have on local communities

    the effectA study looked at a series of small towns in pairs. One where a slaughterhouse opened, one where it didn't. The towns with slaughterhouses saw increased alcoholism, mental health issues, spousal abuse.... Taking lives all day long, it damages your soul. You have to become a worse person in order to survive that. A crueler person. It hurts your ability to treat other humans with kindness and respect.

    , and you remembered all of that every single time you ate meat for a month, by the end of that month you'd want to go vegetarian.

    Every single person, at most past the age of 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/meat-eating-clueless-brits-food-study-farming-source-a8548511.html

    Almost two thirds could not identify the correct location of a rump steak – despite the clue being in the name - while only 36 per cent could identify that a pork shoulder steak came from the shoulder of a pig.

    More than 80 per cent of respondents could not find the part of a cow that a ribeye steak comes from, while only nine per cent said they knew where a Barnsley chop came from on a lamb.

    A quarter admitted they felt confused, did not know what to buy and don’t understand what is on display in their local butcher’s shop

    You said every person over 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from. But 80% of British people don't know where a ribeye steak comes from!

    Your argument was:

    A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals

    Then you said:

    But 80% of British people don't know where a ribeye steak comes from!

    Stop acting clueless so you can twist his words. They don't need to know where a ribeye whatever comes from to know it comes from a cow. Which disproves your argument.

    But did you know that to eat vegetables, you actually kill them? An innocent life form - dead, just so you can eat. How can you live with yourself?

    Vegetables don't care if they die, but animals do. Animals don't like dying. I've asked lots of animals and very few of them were suicidal.

    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, give a man a suicidal fish give him PTSD for a lifetime.

    We gave it a clean 200 gal tank, friends, food that it was really picky about (he only wanted to eat the tails of the feeder goldfish. We told him he had to eat the entire things. He refused. So we ended up having these three feeder fish with half missing tails called Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner swimming around in the tank with our fancy fish because dumb old Oliver bit they butts off but wouldn't finish the job. Eventually Oliver died by flight, the tails finished growing back, we dug a pond, and Breakfast Lunch and Dinner moved outside to become our koi. 25 cent feeders. They got huge. Gorgeous. Size of my forearm. A friend who waited tables at a Japanese restaurant offered to buy them for the restaurant because he thought they were koi and not 25 cent feeder goldfish. We liked him so we said no, go spend your own 50 cents. He thought it was hilarious. Next week we went to get sushi and their koi fountain was full of feeder goldfish.

    Plenty of animals can survive being shot, depending on where you shoot them

    Well there you fucking go, don't you? You don't need to kill lettuce to eat it, but you do need to kill cows to eat them. So stop the killing and have a salad.

    There's nothing from this commentor to suggest that THEY eat meat. The only thing we know about them is that they're an idiot.

    And statistically, their idiocy means they probably eat meat.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1790759/

    Higher IQ at age 10 years was associated with an increased likelihood of being vegetarian at age 30

    IQ remained a statistically significant predictor of being vegetarian as an adult after adjustment for social class (both in childhood and currently), academic or vocational qualifications, and sex

    Correlation does not mean causation.
