I find it amusing how sometimes he disappears for a few months and everyone assumes he's dead from botulism. Also funny how he still apparently lives in a room in his mom's house despite having millions of youtube subscribers.
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.
even if we are obnoxious idiots (which is justified when the whole world thinks killing animals is ok, it’s infuriating), shouldn’t you care about the animals and not us?
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!
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.
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.
we have something we haven't been able to prove exists in any other animal: knowledge that we, ourselves, might die. animal cognitive behaviorists call this understanding personal mortality, and every time they get close to it, I've seen them go out of their way to say they don't have proof any other animal understands personal mortality.
if you have an animal cognitive behavioral study that claims otherwise, I'd be happy to read it.
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.
It is a thing with some pastoralist peoples in Africa (like the Nuer, for example) that they will poke a hole in one of their cattle and drink some of its blood. A little snack-on-the-go that doesn't kill the animal.
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
::: spoiler the effect
A 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.
They controlled for every other cause of the results that had been claimed. Nobody has any idea how they could have gotten those results, except from the addition of the slaughterhouse.
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
