Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVII: The Snark Enlightenment

[Cappuccina]

Cutting down on meat intake is the right thing to do, the logic is undeniable unless the lab stuff really takes off. But it's something I'll find personally a much bigger challenge and probably cop out on a lot more than not buying shiny consumer goods, doing long trips or whatever, there's something basic and fundamental about the pleasures of good food. In comparison, non-meat foods are like sustaining yourself by chewing an old piece of gum.

Time to get on your mandatory trail mix only diet.

[Locus Praemonstratus]

Scientists are literally the least trustworthy people in existence, up there with journalists and politicians and actors. They also occupy the other extreme but there is no middle ground with them.

[Hanafuridake]

Aren't both of those more of an indictment of the kind of society that we live in rather than a soundproof argument against vegetarianism?

Still, it begs the question, do you feel it's immoral to eat an animal if you had nothing else?

If someone were in danger of starvation, then I would consider it much more understandable than someone who has the option not to eat meat but chooses to. Whether or not it's immoral would be a complicated subject that would require me to look at a lot of sutras.

I agree with this though, society needs to fast. We’d be so much better off without excessively eating.

Fair enough, I can respect that. And that last part is very respectable, honestly.

Unless you eat only non-GMO, hormone free, nonchemically treated food, this is a bad argument

I eat all those things and I don’t like it either, so I guess my point stands regardless? I guess lab food is just one step too far for me to be onboard with.

To be honest, I'm kind of suspicious of a lot of foods anymore because of that.

What's wrong with GMOs, hormone addatives, and the like?

For me, the same reason I don’t like pumping anything into myself, it strikes me as artificial and dangerous. Who knows what is happening to my body as I eat my meal? My testosterone could be plummeting, I feel sick every time I eat KFC, perhaps it’s making me addicted to the food because it was designed to do just that? I don’t know.

You going to be a good soyboy.

And no it is unlikely to do that. Did you do fast before?

Nah, I haven’t fasted since last week unfortunately, but I was just throwing out ideas there rather than saying anything about my situation now (though I do feel sick whenever I eat KFC).

I did fast for 48-72 hours last time. Water + salt only. It did help.

As for the KFC, theres a number of indrigients in chicken (like Tryptophan) and certain fats used in cooking that can have such effects. Hormone would take much more time to work afaik.

I only fast on Wednesday till 3:00pm and then only a small meal before dinner, and on Friday I don’t eat until dinner (and no meat) unless I’m doing something strenuous, in which case I have something small. And on Sunday I don’t eat until Mass is over. I haven’t been doing that this week because I have grown lax and distracted with exams. I’m beginning to think other dietary problems are the cause of my sickness, like sugar addiction and sleep deprivation.

I also overate last Monday that I was vomiting at night with an uncomfortably full stomach causing me to eat very little on Tuesday.

Sugar addiction and sleep deprivation can be two major factors and are often underestimated. The first can be fixed by putting your self on a 48-72 hour water/sea salt fast which will reset your bloodsugar system and bring you into ketosis. You will have terrible headache though. From there you can work your way out with low carb foods. Eggs, meat, vegetables etc. No sweets or noodles.

Sleep schledule fixing is harder.

Well, you could always go, and start an underground black market for meat.

I challenge the 71% of people who don't think (or don't know if) Shinzo Abe's leadership has been good for Japan to a debate, because it has been.

[New Visayan Islands]

Considering that the most viable source of protein Junior can have is meat-based (cries in G6PD Deficiency) I'd hate to live in a world where eating meat is heresy. It would suck for me, sure, but for my 3-year-old? Screw that, he's eating meat and that's final.

Ban meat and we're going to reenact the Boston Tea Party with vegan crap.

Vaccines you only get a few times in your life (and even then, nothing in the vaccines are bad for you unless you have specific allergies), that's different from eating something with weird crap in it every day.
