Ecosystems the world over are driven by the complicated balance of birthrates and the hierarchy of the food chain. Animals of a hire status, eat those below them. Humans have evolved to a conscious level, and with the use of tools and superior intellect, have arguably exited the rigamarole of the constant hunt for live meat to hunt, kill and eat. We make our own nutrition in a variety of ways, and in the search for efficiency, we’ve sacrificed gentility and comfort for the animals we eat. But do we owe them that? There’s no death that isn’t horrific, and no humane way to kill and eat. But that’s ALWAYS been true for the food chain, no concern of the animal kingdom. Should it be ours?
Do we owe it to the animals we domesticate, raise, kill and eat, to do it nicely? Or because of the ample, non-meat nutrition we have available to us, are we expected to achieve an even higher standard and NOT eat those animals below us AT ALL?
And why is bacon so GD delicious?
