Musings on meat…

Possible to eat healthy as a vegan? Yeah that is parallel to can you be good without god. Without the propaganda people would not ask.

That BBC thing was disappointing in failing to explore lab grown meat.

Hypothesis of mine-if one is a consumer of factory farmed animals and has never experienced guilt-related feelings or…[Read more]

Reg,

The title “The Guilt-Free Sources of Meat” begs the question, i.e. it assumes the existence of guilt in eating meat. 😉

But to address your video, yes there are many ways we could raise protein better to deal with a growing population. In addition to aquaculture for getting seafòod, it is also conceivable that we could raise land animals…[Read more]

Video from the BBC – Can we feed the world without meat?

“What has the CDC ever done for us?” would make an equally good video.

Unseen,

Monty Python presaged this sketch in more ways than one.

In the liner notes of their album The Final Rip-Off, they had Graham Chapman going into a confectionary and hearing this Cockney Grandma saying: “I didn’t fight in The Great War so that shit-heads like you could tell me how to weigh sweeties!” Then Graham took his order and…[Read more]

Reg,

Obviously, The Judean People’s Front-er-Judean Popular People’s Front-er-The Popular Front of Judea-er-The People’s Front of Judea should have did some counter-economics and creating parallel institutions before trying this whole rebelling against the Romans thing. 😁

Reg,

You are semantically correct, but I think the Romans might have feared that the Christians would add Caesar Salad to their menu.😁

Unseen,

I always thought of human flesh as “nature’s perfect food,” with all the needed dietary necessities in perfect balance.

Until you get pat the catchy ad slogan and read the disclaimer
provided by Mother Nature which says: “While Supplies Last. Not available in Antarctica, the Seven Seas, or space.” 😁

Pope, thanks for the link. I’ve only read his seminal work. A few years ago i heard Frans de Waal on the radio discussing Mama’s Last Hug. Did you read it. If so your opinion?

😂 Do you think it’s possible to be healthy eating as a vegan?

Unseen replied:
Possible, yes. Easy, only if you are ready to really obsess over what you eat.

So carnivores don’t care what they eat? I know several vegans, some of whom are vegan for over 30 years and they seldom talk about it or food unless prompted. Admittedly I…[Read more]

Thanks for the link Reg. Booker seems a decent guy although he said Justin Sinclair instead of Upton and i was very hurt with that…very very hurt…

@Jakelafort – a further discussion here – a login to Instagram is not needed.

Reg, your NY Times link is blocked.

I have a hunch that long term and too late there will be a world shift against current animal husbandry in favor of lab grown meat. If so it will be self-interest that is the impetus. We as a species don’t even care about genocides. No way as a species we care about other animals.

Good anecdote about…[Read more]

@PopeBeanie – Reg, I hope I haven’t detracted from anyone’s interest in this awesome topic!

I am doing a good enough job at derailing it myself.  Your line of thought is admirable and elevates the post. Keep it coming!

@theencogitationer – This may be just idle speculation, but I’ve heard it said that part of the Reason the Romans persecuted Christians is because they heard this talk of eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus and thought it was a cannibal cult.

But it is a cannibalistic cult. Catholics MUST believe that the bread and wine becomes the b…[Read more]

PopeBeanie,

Have you tried fava beans with that? (Just thinking this reply might be a clever way to introduce another nuance wrt our evolution-related meat-eating behaviors.)

Nope, no fava beans nor a nice Chiante. 🤪 And I believe I’ve mentioned before that cannibalism, by it’s very nature, could never be a sus…

Reg,

Gary Larson’s The FarSide was always hysterically ingenius. I always thought his cartoon about “Gross Stories” depicted what kids would tell around the camp fire when people stop believing in the supernatural.
