Is killing something that would rather live not cruel in and of itself, even if not especially painful?

Do you think capitalist industry would bother to reliably achieve such carefully executed murder? Even in terms of how the human workers are treated it seems like one of the least ethical or regulated industries.

No. And no that�s why regulations are required.

What if they still beat up the baby animals, but it was only for, say, an hour a day? Like you could just go ham and wail on 'em as much as you wanted, but for the rest of the day you have to be super duper nice to them and give them cuddles and snacks?

Not a perfect solution, but it's something!

Only if you take the beatings for the other 23 hours.

Toxic masculinity is different from misogyny, they just have a lot of overlap. People who get mad about vegetarians also usually think soy beans give you boobs and make your balls fall off, which is actually kinda hilarious since it's so huge in China, the most populated country in the world (clearly they weren't having fertility issues when their population passed a billion and had to be fought with legislation and policy instead. You'd think the government would just lower the price of tofu if it was any good for making you less fertile).

They do talk about it in one of them, but those are things that can be addressed through infrastructure and regulation (though I'm aware that both of those things are rapidly disappearing in America) and has been done pretty successfully in the few nations that farm insects for food.

Unsurprisingly this too is dishonest, different types of insects have different nutritional potential, including fats. The only nutrient lacking in insects is calcium, which is found in non-meat products quite easily. Also supplements exist for situations out of the ordinary and are very cheap and accessible for pretty much everyone.

I love you so much.

If you could explain how what I wrote made you think I was suggesting that I would really appreciate it.

Edit: and I suppose in the meantime I'll explain how I was not suggesting that. My negation of "our ancestors ate lots and lots of meat and that's how we got brains" was not "our ancestors were vegetarians", it was "our ancestors probably ate less meat than 'lots and lots', and/or there is no real reason to believe that brains were in any way a consequence of what meat they did eat, and there are valid reasons to not believe it." More importantly, I was suggesting that "a scientific fact" is a very different thing from "a thing some researcher claimed one time." Most importantly of all, I was suggesting that the person stating that the meat=brains nonsense was "a scientific fact" is a jerk for doing that. I hope this is a clearer explanation that won't be mistaken for a completely different claim that centers around a word I didn't even use.

Like it doesn't differ all that much when people are just traditionally harvesting adults from the wild anyway, but you couldn't really farm some bugs as well as others.

M Condriano posted:

It's a pretty bizarre thing to argue that we evolved to do something so we should keep doing it forever, completely ignoring the entirety of all science outside of evolutionary history that all indicates that humans are perfectly capable of living quite healthily and successfully without eating meat.

It's also strange to try to argue that any kind of food would be worse for the environment than beef production.

It's also strange to ignore the fact that insects are healthier and less environmentally damaging of a food source than all the meat we eat now, and that the only reason we don't eat them now is because white people from a continent that didn't have good insects to eat took over the world and brought their cultural norms with them. Not to mention the lack of ethical concerns in farming insects, which all available science indicates do not experience pain or suffering in any way (nociception is not the same thing as pain).

...I guess it's not that strange if you understand that everyone who argues so much about how they have to eat meat constantly is just doing it because they have their masculinity all wrapped up in their meat consumption and aren't thinking about anything else in reality.

This thread sucks, but it got me thinking about eating bugs. I definitely don't want to eat crunchy exoskeletons and eating a creature's entire body is kind of gross. Instead of trying BS 3d meat printing, it'd be sweet to have a bio engineered big land lobster that we pen up like veal. If I can get a portion sized muscle out of a big worm or whatever, that sounds appealing. I imagine I'll be long dead before something like that could happen though. I'm guessing cricket flour is like the only way they'll ever be remotely palatable to most people. Sorry my post sucks, I'm just thinking about giant land bug meat while hungry.
