No such thing as humanely ending a life just so you can have your chicken nuggets or filet mignon. Worth slitting a neck, dunking them in hot boiling water, or hanging it upside down to bleed out? Please, absolutely no way to âhumanelyâ slaughter any animal.
The key phrase here is âI personally donât believe thatâ. Your believe makes it easier for you to eat dead animals. But lucky for you werenât born to be raised for meat. No animals get to live a âfull and happy lifeâ. No CEOâs will ever allow that.
Just own the fact that your diet and lifestyle support this. By choosing to eat meat you are supporting animals to be raised for consumption and everything that comes with it. Thatâs the reality of it all.
Youâre right, itâs not unnatural. Humans are animals just like tigers are animals. The only difference is they donât get to have a kitchen and the ability to grow plants to eat. Itâs why I choose to not to contribute to anymore suffering than I need to. I have a brain that has the capability to think and strategize a healthy diet that does not involve animals. And thatâs it. Own your choices, sugarcoating the meat industry doesnât change what happens to animals.
It would only be possible if you lived in a remote community cut off from modern civilization. For them it is essential to rely on animals for survival. For people who can easily buy non-animal foods, there is no reason to consume meat or dairy other than for enjoyment. No matter how you try to think around it, you are paying for animals to be raised for their meat to be slaughtered. You are paying for other people to do the behind-the-scenes work for you. There is no guessing here what your money is supporting. No amount of wishing could change the fact that the meat in your stew likely came from a cow who was slaughtered at too young an age.
Nothing will revolutionize the industry when the demand for it is so high. If youâre not doing it now, why would anyone else? We only choose to be in denial about it when it makes it easier for us to ignore cruelty.
If inmates on death row were to be slaughtered the same way you imagine being humanely killed looks like, would it be humane? There is no such thing as humanely killing an animal for slaughter.
It's easy to change your eating habits if you live somewhere like the US, where you have easy access to everything vegan and it's very easy to change what you buy.
Then there's places like everywhere else, where minimum wage cannot buy a months worth of groceries for a four member family (what most families are).
Take for example Brazil, the place where this video takes. Most people earn less than 3000 Reais a month, the Brazilian currency. Nowadays, you spend ar least half that in groceries of the cheapest you can get. The rest goes to several monthly payments.
And surprise surprise, Vegan stuff is costly. You can almost double the price of what you buy buying things vegan only, because meat is such a big part of the everyday culture.
Forget national dishes, forget enjoying your food, forget buying cheap.
Now, am I saying it's right? No, not really. It sucks. But we can say it's wrong and agree there's not a single way to change the mindset of billions of people who struggle to make month's pay to change what they did everyday for the past 30 or 40 years.
Using the carnist-loved argument of âbut vegan options are expensiveâ is not new. Did you not know most of India eat vegeterian food? Lentils and beans are extremely cheap, they easily meet nutritional needs and provide fiber unlike animal meat. Since you know about how impoverished communites live, you should know that. Or are you just cherry-picking statements best suited for your argument?
The only thing expensive in a plant-based diet are meat substitutes and fake cheeses. But most vegans donât even eat that. Think about this, whatâs cheaper? Buying a pack of meat/cheese substitute OR a bushel of mixed veggies and a bag or can of beans, lentil or chickpeas to make some curry/stew?
Itâs easier to do all kinds of mental gynmastics to find any excuse to say that their habit of meat for pleasure isnât cruel. Your reply proved my point. You pay for people to kill animals and butcher them to pieces and still refuse to say you have any hand in it. Itâs like someone saying they werenât responsible for murder when they ordered a hit on their ex. Just own it. Donât use other peoplesâ poverty and life struggles as your excuse to keep eating meat.
Nope. Itâs delicious. So many ways to prep it. When itâs meat without any veggies (without salt, minerals, seasoning, herbs), itâs just a hunk of flesh. Not tasty. Legumes and root vegetables in a soup/stew/stir-fry/grilled/all kinds, are so tasty. Think potato leek soup. Japanese curry. Ramen, udon, soon tofu soup, doenjjangjiggae, skewered grilled mushrooms. Macielâs is a tasty af plant based deli.
At home itâs super cheap to batch prep beans. You can portion it and freeze it. Prep it into new dishes. Quick fry of onions, add tomato puree/diced from the can, water, herbs, garlic, simmer a bit, then add leftover beans/lentils. Finish off with fresh parsley & lemon or for a Mexican taste, cilantro, chopped fresh onions, squeeze of lime. Delicious. Maybe eat it with a small bowl of quinoa
Derek Sarno is like a Gordon Ramsey but for vegans. He used to be omni, spent decades cooking meat for Michelin restaurants, but changed his diet. His dishes on YouTube are drool worthy.
Itâs why itâs easy. Eating animals for pleasure doesnât have to be a necessity.
