Why is do we view canabalism as wrong?

We will eat the wierdest animal parts, overpay to get them and call them delicacies.

We kill eachother in mass all over the world yet alot of people are still starving.

Only small tribal groups still eat people. Why?

Idk why we eat animals at all in this day and age of tech

@greensnacks Because the vegan hamburger meat that was so popular 2,3 years ago, tastes like carp and is not so popular anymore.

@greensnacks because humans need protien and fats to survive and for the past like 100,000 years the easiest way to stockpile that food was hunting and cultivating livestock. Yeah these days we can breed protein cultures in a lab but it looks and tastes really different and people are picky
@GuyWithOpinions Protein is abundant in many forms, not only meat but ok.

@greensnacks true, but to get the same amount of protien you would get from a steak, you would need like 5 meals worth.
@GuyWithOpinions nope, not true.

@greensnacks i heard a vegan activist recently died of starvation. They were on youtube or something
@GuyWithOpinions I hear millions of meat eaters die from cholesterol and have meat related diseases and deaths daily. Especially modern-day farmed meat.

One case of someone that doesn't know how to do a balanced diet doesn't prove anything. More cases of people eating something harmful, can in contrast, prove that a certain say, McDonald's only diet, is harmful.

If you don't know how to eat a balanced diet, you'd be malnourished and/ or obese/fat etc either way, meat eater or vegetarian or vegan.

Regarding the protein intake. One meal with some tofu and eggs, you have about ~24+ proteins there. If you want to add more, just add some additional snacks etc. Then two more meals, more than enough protein for the day. And you eat normal size meal, not huge amounts of food as you think we eat.

Yes, the good proteins to replace one single steak.

And I didn't even add protein superfoods in the picture.

@greensnacks yeah i understand what your saying. Cholesterol related problems though are because people eat way to much and dont use thier body. And the food quality is poor because of all the taste additives that make it addicting but harmful. Obesity and clogged arteries werent a huge problem back when you had to raise the animals and plant your food yourself.

@GuyWithOpinions I am sorry but everything you are saying about protein and needing five meals is pure ignorance. Where do you think the animals we eat get their protein from? Nope, you guessed wrong, not from eating their own kind. From plants, and they are much bigger than us.

@BittersweetPotato they are also herbivores, hence why they are tameable.

@GuyWithOpinions and what do you think humans are?
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@BittersweetPotato omnivores. We have the enzymes to digest both. Its why we are smarter than cows. We can eat fats rather than try to process grass into brain matter. Its more efficient.
