Yes! I haven’t read it yet but it is on my list. Is the book relevant about what we were discussing here?

I can tell you that it was really hard to make that connection for me. 5 long years since I was first introduced to vegetarianism, a shroom trip, watching Dominion and Earthlings multiple times, the book “Tender is the flesh”, and a course on generating compassion. I really made an effort to make the connection happen because I was convinced that it was the right thing but still I loved meat and couldn’t say no to it, and the memories of the slaughtered animals were there too.

When my brain finally clicked I couldn’t see meat as food anymore and went vegan, but meanwhile I couldn’t stop wanting it, and not thinking too much about the issue while eating was easy.

I feel there’s more to it for the whole issue. A strong attachment to the taste of meat is one. I have a friend that stopped being vegan and I’m sure the reason is this attachment too. And it is really hard to see it because there are a lot of mechanisms trying to convince you that it is not attachment. And I feel that this attachment kills the compassion/empathy.

I’m not 100% sure about it but I think my brain finally clicked when I was doing this compassion course. So maybe it was having a low empathy for animals the problem after all. But that was something hidden for myself, if you asked me back then about animals, I would tell you the typical bullshit about me loving animals and so forth. It was a lie that I believed myself. And that’s something to be aware of because I think most of the people are on the same page.

Fair enough, and yes sure, whatever you choose to do is your business (as long as you don’t hurt others).

Our body does this on survival mode, you won’t convince anyone here to join your lunatic diet my friendly carnivore. What are you even doing here?

You guys are literally dying from your diet and you come here to share “science for health”, I just learnt that Dr. Adam Nally died at 55 from a stroke. Please eat some veggies.

Regarding the minimally unethical are you sure about that?

Like do you know what happens to the male born chicks? Or what happens to the hens that stop giving eggs? Or in what conditions do they live? And about dairy, do you know what happens to male born calves? And what happens with the cow when she stops producing milk? And how the cow feels when their children are taken from her?

My friend, eggs and dairy are even more brutal that meat industry, which they are the same industry by the way.
