Where is the disrespect for the dead animal? I don’t get it. It just looks like somebody’s put overly emotive text on an image of somebody preparing food in a very fancy manner?
It’s hilarious how lemmy users generally think of themselves as left wing but refuse to admit that veganism is both morally and sustainably the better option
Morals, that’s religion right there, and when a religion starts from the default of assuming it’s the only right answer, it’s a shit religion, no matter what other arguments are involved.
Morals is not religion. If anything I vehemently dispute religion claiming any ownership of morals. See Plato on morals for more details. But I would say that highest of morals is the highest well-being of humans. This would apply not only from philosophical approach but also from an evolutionary one.
Having said that, I don’t believe eating meat is immoral. It is how we evolved, and eating meat is part of what is to be human.
would you get mad if someone kicked a dog for fun? Would it upset you if someone punched you in the face or stole your stuff? If so gtfo with that religious attitude, morals are only related to religion and the rest of us enlightened atheists can do anything we want
edit: to be clear, morals are important and good when they’re constructed rationally to protect sentient beings (human and non-human) from exploitation and abuse. Religious morals are deeply problematic because they’re not constructed rationally, and they try to restrict consenting adults from doing certain things together and they allow other horrific behaviors as totally fine. There’s a large, meaningful difference between animal rights and religious morals
But you see, this time it’s inconvenient to me personally, so I will defend my habits and fight for them to never change even if it means suffering to others, even if the evidence that is harmful are obvious and out there. What do you mean “definition of conservatism”?
Veganism isn’t so much a “dietary preference” as a way of life that recognizes animals as sentient beings and aims to minimize their suffering as much as possible (i.e. it’s not only about not eating them).
That aside: In my experience, giving a shit about the well-being of others, regardless of race or species, isn’t exactly common on the political right.
See I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism but I really wish people would have more respect for dead animals.
Disgusting behaviour from some people

In a way this is even more respectful as it presents the meat in a unique and special way.
Personally I think the more effort is out into food, on the condition it’s being eaten, the more respect you’re giving to the animal.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Granted I also want to go the same way Diogenes wanted to
When asked how he wished to be buried, he left instructions to be thrown outside the city wall so wild animals could feast on his body
Honestly that’s based as fuck. Granted there’s the concern of spreading disease but it’s how I’d prefer it too
Look up Tibetan sky burials. They just stick your corpse on a mountain and the vultures feast away.
You should though
No.
No
No.

See, there’s that religion creeping in again.

Dietary preferences and choices aren’t exclusive to left wing politics.
