The divide is most often made between carnivore and herbivore. "Shit" flows up, meaning all the nasty stuff an animal eats lower in the food chain, goes up and accumulates in their predators. Carnivore meat is usually more disease ridden and unhealthy for consumption. Our culture has kinda evolved to this point naturally as a protection mechanism.
It's also the reason you should avoid eating too much of bigger fish species due to heavy metals. Smaller fish don't absorb as much, but bigger fish accumulates heavy metal for each small fish they eat.
I think the point isn't about practicality, but ethics. It's less practical to eat carnivores, but is it unethical? If it's ethical to kill and eat a cow, is it also ethical to kill and eat a horse? A dog? A cat?
I think you misunderstood the argument.
It's okay to eat puppies and kittens because they haven't accumulated as much 😌
I had a professor who was native american, and yeah, he spoke quite honestly about how they breed the dogs for meat, and the puppy is more tender. He said his friends would always joke with him when he went back to the reservation for holidays. I can't remember the exact joke, but it was something about how he would have to dig deep into the stew because the puppy was at the bottom.
Is the argument that ethics are a function of accumulation?
Some parts of my country used to eat & sell dog meat during WW2. Now not anymore, for above reasons.
I think it's perfectly clear; the line is neccessity and taste vs. friend and practicality.
Also, third-level consumers are a waste of ressources in most cases, due to metabolic inefficiencies.
And yeah, horse meat is still a thing. Moschtbrökli (some dried good parts kept in apple juice) a more or less local speciality. Quite tasty btw.
Mostly agree - if you eat meat I don't think there's a difference between eating dog and pork.
But surprisingly many people think it is unethical to kill a dog, even if it's your own dog.
The line is ethics and necessity.
Horse + bunny tasty, dog not.
lol, I can’t help but read this as “mushed broccoli” even though there’s no way that’s how it’s pronounced
"Apple juice piece"
