      It is not meat eating that is the unwellness. It is the machine.

      The machine causes life long suffering of animals. We should not equate the machine mass torture of animal with indigenous hunting of animals. The first impose unnessecary suffering in the name of efficiency especially through overfeeding, while the other is done out of need and prevents suffering to the degree it is possible.

      By being purist in animal rights, we shift the blame of animal suffering away from might towards people. Putting even more preassure upon indigenous who are preassured by the machine.

      That is not to say that we shouldn’t eat less meat. We certainly should! But we can do this by dissolving the machine and practice independence.

      I think it’s a bit rich for anyone in “modern” society (or however you want to call it) to be giving moral guidance to societies that proved that they can actually live sustainably and relatively peacefully for thousands years.
