Last time I ate lobster I kinda felt like this ain't right, it might have something to do with it's "raw" look that triggered my subconscious..

They do highlight what I said earlier about normalization and training due to following the lead others bring. Imagine a world where people tucked into bugs and insects as delicacies instead and then one day someone suggested they eat lobster, shrimp and prawns instead. Folks would think he'd flipped his lid for even suggesting something like this and yet...

The bugs thing is going to be next wave to fill in space before the Soylent Green age kicks in:

Really, what is the difference beyond the exposure and programming because the reaction is visceral to something outside your paradigm even though seafood is the insects of the ocean in that respect. Why is certain animal flesh accepted as fit for consumption whilst others are rejected? Eating is a fundamental part of existence but if you really stop and consider it from end to end then it generates some interesting questions about life itself.

Crabs and shrimp are basically bugs I've heard some insects taste the same. But, you've got to be conditioned early to eat some shyt, I'm not experimenting with something I'm spraying Raid at.

So true.

If you actually had to kill what you ate with your bare hands and tools as opposed to pre-prepped food you'd switch habits with a quickness as the whole behind the curtain industry where convenience meets ignorance hides a lot of the true nature of whats at play.

Its an intriguing premise though. Especially when you consider that dairy and bread generate a hit like opium in the body and its why they're addictive and certain adepts won't even eat onion or garlic due to the same reasons as they wish to maintain zero point awareness and total sentience.
I grew up hunting and fishing. It don't phase me breh. I was just tuna fishing last week. Caught them clubbed them over the head, cut out their hills and bled them right there. Ate some the next day. It was good. I'm going again Monday. Point is humans would adapt to killing animals again, we did it before. Population growth would be much smaller

I was getting to where I considered being vegan. Even tried it for a month.

Then I saw the show "Alone". People out in the woods alone tryna survive for a few months.

They would have literally died trying to not eat meat. When you have veggies from across the globe collected in a store then it can work. If you're roughing it there's just no possible way to live on grass and bark. Cause the real natural world is nothing like Whole Foods.

If it wasn't for this habit of meat eating, none of us would exist.

I've been thinking about vegetarianism. We don't need to use animals the way we did in the past. It comes at a price. Plant based food has a much higher yield per square foot, much lower greenhouse gas emission, much lower likelihood of developing diseases humans can end up catching, like corona. Less healthy for us as well.

I have been around animals that were slaughtered/killed (for religious reasons) and a couple hours later we were eating it (in an admittedly delicious meal)

It's such a crazy experience to realize this thing was just walking around living and now we're just feasting on it :picard:

Then you realize we do this on a mass, industrial scale. Hundreds of millions of sentient creatures whose whole existence from birth to death is orchestrated to feed us. That's when you realize how savage humans really are :demonic:

Most people can’t even comprehend where their food comes from. Even in an elite, high end restaurant scale the origins are some straight out of nature shyt.

But it’s out of sight out of mind and in this country especially we only give a fukk about cute animals anyway. Chickens and pigs are ugly and gross but cats and dogs are somehow cute and can while wearing little sweaters for social media.

I think I'm too far gone, because that looks appetizing to me. I would try it if it's well seasoned.

Its all down to conditioning really because if you've grown with that imprint its business as usual. Would you eat a dish of barbecued insects?

cats and dogs are somehow cute and can while wearing little sweaters for social media.

:russ:I actually saw someone walking their dog with a coat on and thought "Does the dog even need that?" swiftly followed by "I wonder if he's stuntin on the other mutts with his fresh look?" before laughing to myself about the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

You know these dogs and cats are unhappy, especially those living in apartments all damn day.

fukkin dogs/cats will piss, shyt, eat, not wash their face or ass, walk around dirty with their a$$hole exposed + be in your face with a stank mouth.

Yet folks are happy to have them all in their bed, couch, jumping on dinner tables and in common areas.
