The Anti-Meat Conspiracy
from ERIC KIM · host ERIC
The Anti Meat Conspiracy Read Here I am convinced -- One of the worst ills in modern society is this vehement anti-meat bias. For example, ask yourself: If you are an intellectual, are you allowed to go to a dinner party and tell everyone outloud that "I love to eat meat!" No. You would be seen as a monster, someone who is killing the planet, etc. The more 'virtuous' thing is to be either vegetarian, vegan, or perhaps someone who only eats 'pasture-raised grass-fed humanely slaughtered' meat, preferably from Whole Foods or a farm, "once a while". Even more virtuous to "give up red meat"-- because it is 'bad for the planet', 'bad for your health' and 'inhumane to animals', etc. Why do I care about this? Now if you have a Netflix subscription you've probably seen one of the anti-meat propaganda films. I am not going to argue the ethics of meat eating in terms of environmental reasons (yet), but I desire to explore the contours of our strange new society which is profoundly dog-and-pet friendly, but anti-human? Are animal lives EQUIVALENT to human lives? First question. I say easily: No. No matter what, a human life will ALWAYS be infinitely superior to an animal life of any kind. If I had a choice of saving a stranger's baby's life or the life of my (beloved) dog, I would always choose the life of the human being ... even if it weren't my own kid.
