RE: Some Philosophical and Moral Reasons Why Vegetarians are Better Than Everybody Else
Vegetarianism is like a religion. When I tell them about cloned meat. How is free from antibiotics, high quality doesn't involve suffering and can be more nutritious and less deleterious than normal meat. They get morally conflicted.
Then I tell them:
Wanna know what makes people better than me?
Science!
It does seem like the moral issue would be missing in the case of cloned meat. Any objections to cloning might be based on an existing religious premise of some kind, beyond diet or moral stance.
Conversely, I've heard of carnism as a religion of sorts; a strong belief in consuming meat based on tradition and more belief that the practice is necessary. I stay away from telling anyone how or what to eat, since I have no food-based mythologies, only science, and my own overall health and conscience are all I have control over.
You really shouldn't speak about millions of people as if you know them all personally. It's ignorant.
Is extremely statistically unlikely that I know all these millions of people you mention but not impossible (also ignorance is not something I'm ashamed of), yet that's your interpretation. As I mentioned vegetarianism and not vegetarians per se. "them" was not necessarily vegetarians. It could be vegans or chefs. You could have asked.
Hey glad to see you back!
