When we develop a way to artificially grow meat in a lab cheaply then we can love both, and still eat meat

My solution is be open to love and eat both.

Is there a law against cannibalism? Or just the murder that it usually entails. Either way, it’s very bad for you.

No joke and nothing offensive here. I am dissapointed.
 
But this billboard does make me really want to eat a dog. I utterly despise vegitarians who use the “BUT IT’S A CUTE LITTLE AMINAL!” reasoning against meat. All they’ve done is convince me that I should try to eat all animals equally.
 
Including humans. Stupid laws ruining that one…

I wonder what tiger taste like  
probably like a big ol’ pussy

@Ichijoe  
Blood, flesh, same thing, except in that case it seems to be approved of. xD

also the fact if push comes to shove, the dog would eat the pig too.

id like to find that billboard and throw a hamburger at it.

@Techy Pony  
Are you sure this wasn’t some Carpenter from Nazareth?

 
Fun Fact™: Chihuahuas were originally bred as food animals by the Aztecs.
 
The funniest one of these narmy billboards was the “A pork chop stops a beating heart” masterpiece, with a smilin’ piglet and a flatlining EKG; I no-shit very nearly drove into a highway dividing wall from laughing so hard the first time I saw that one.

food is food

Indeed, some of the best humor has elements of truth in it like this does.

Actually, if I’m not mistaken, there was some fellow who arranged for some of his flesh to be eaten. (I don’t recall if was while he was alive or postmortem) Completely consensual and people were still disgusted and the “consumer” charged with something. Pretty ridiculous people often have about food when you think about it.

@Ichijoe  
You reiterating “Again I don’t eat other primates…” made it sound that you were annoyed, I thought you were reiterating because you thought I was implying you do something I don’t approve of and so you felt it necessary to state you don’t. Just a misunderstanding however.
 
Food that’s giving consent to be eaten but now people suddenly don’t want it…and I bet you that’s how it’d be. By that you’d think half the fun of eating is knowing you took the life of an unwilling animal. (funny video though)

@Ichijoe  
Its also fun to point out that the “Dish of the Day” was played by Perter Davison (a.k.a. The Fifth Doctor)

@Ichijoe  
Again since its topical I’d also recomend you read the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

@Techy Pony  
How did I give that impression? I’m just trying to enjoy a conversation. I’m not in the least offended in fact, the comment you linked back to was actaully making a bit of a joke. Admittedly at my own expense. Since I have no clue as to the “Ultimate Question”. Which was kinda the joke. I take you haven’t read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy yet? If not place this on your todo list ASAP!

@Ichijoe  
Me replying isn’t me accusing you of anything, though it seems you too it that way.
 
@Lemonjack  
Some humans are unbelievably stupid to the point I’m not sure they’re any different than an animal acting off instinct who happens to be able to communicate complex ideas. If these people couldn’t speak I’d assume theory of mind wasn’t something they were capable of.

@Lemonjack  
Tell me about it. But you have to get your Protein from somewhere. And, sadly for those sources of Protein, the also tend to be the only places where you’ll find the naturally occurring B Vitamins needed for a healthy diet.

@Lemonjack
 
To be fair that’s the general case for everyone alive for the most part. There’s billions of humans and we all consume. Some less than others, Somalis, Ethiopians, and New York elite among them.

@Ichijoe  
@Techy Pony
 
Theory of mind, animals that may well be conscious. I’d add another type of animal I wouldn’t eat; anything that’s endangered. The Chinese eat shark fin soup, not because it tastes good—in fact it supposedly has no taste—but because it’s considered a delicacy.
 
The Chinese would eat goddamn anything. They’re like like locusts; there’s a billion of them and they just consume.

@Techy Pony  
Again I don’t eat other Primates… Sans my Girlfriend! So I wouldn’t know. I suppose if Bobo, or Fido could ask the “Ultimate Question” then, they should be spared. FYI The “Ultimate Answer” is Forty-Two…
 
I guess by this argument I’d be food grade myself then…. :[

@Ichijoe
 
@Lemonjack
 
Also, would that mean below a certain IQ you’re legally food? Apes are about equivalent to a ~4 human child, do they count as the same?

@Lemonjack  
What constitutes an Intelligent Species”? If we go by the Church, there aren’t any save Humans, which in our own unique evolution has developed this wretched thing called we call the morality of good & evil…

I only eat prey animals. Eating fellow carnivores—and/or intelligent species—is where I draw the line.
