The Knight Life by Keith Knight for January 04, 2014

That’s one strange kid.

For some reason, eating the flesh of a flesh eater is taboo.

Eating meat made us what we are today.

@MarkThen maybe not eating meat can make us better, healthier, less prone to anger and agression?

“Why don’t we eat the neighbour’s cat?”

“For one thing: It’s the neighbour’s cat, not our cat.”

One sick kid.

NOT FUNNY!

Good kid! Bad parent. Yes, some lives are worth more than others. A human kid is worth more than a pig, a cow, a chicken a sheep. The neighbor’s cat falls somewhere in between. But if it is just a random cat and you’re out on the savannah hunting then it may become a question of you or the cat. Which one is going to eat the other. Better to be the eater than the eaten. So eat that pork and beans and enjoy.

Keith, it takes a little kid…and pubwvj, above…to put things into perspective.

Is that kid turning into ALF?

One can be strictly vegan and not become anemic and sick. Beans (and bean products, like tofu and soy milk), nuts and seeds, and whole grains combine easily into complete proteins. Iron is available from some beans, dark leafy greens, and other plant sources, as well as in vegan iron supplements and from cooking in cast-iron pots. Your coworker needed to educate herself on how to get proper nutrition from a vegan diet, not necessarily give it up. It does take extra effort, but someone who feels strongly about it can do it and be healthy. (I’m not talking about myself here. I eat out too often and have chosen to be pescetarian.)

Typically predatory animals aren’t eaten because they don’t have sufficient fat on them. But mainly it’s because they were significantly more dangerous to hunt, so we (humanity) taught ourselves to avoid them.

Owning pets means always having an emergency food supply.
