lol this
Eating meat is one of those things where I full-on realize it's just so destructive, unethical, savage, and plain wrong, but I do it anyway. I've never heard a convincing argument in favor of meat eating (the way it works currently) being morally acceptable behavior, and it usually amounts to:
-You're a pussy.
or
-Animals and our ancestors eat/ate meat, so it's okay if we do.
Really the only reasonably ethical scenario is raising livestock so humanely that they have a decent quality of life and a painless death that is free of terror, but then meat and many animal products would be so expensive very few of us would be eating them anyway.

Lune I've noticed you often have an "edited by" disclaimer at the bottom of many of your high quality posts. As a fellow high quality poster I would like to advise you of a strategy; delete your post and repost the edited version and everyone will be in awe at your first-pass editing ability. I've been utilizing this stratagem extensively and it works, the people love me!
