    I invented a fictional society for stories in which you are allowed to buy and consume meat, but only if you have a “carnivore’s medallion”. The only way to obtain one is to have witnesses observe you personally slaughter a living being (eg, a chicken) with no assistance.

    Ideologically, seems like a good way to put friction on meat obsessions and get people to think about it.

        No assistance would be no guns, no bows, no knives, no traps, right?

        Literally using your bare hands or something you find on the ground.

      90% alive today would not eat meat if they had to kill. You can grow up used to it of course.

      I like this idea. We’re raising chickens and probably rabbits this spring. If you’re going to eat meat, you should face the reality of the life you are consuming.
