Epic fail

Don't we also use tools to make lots of plants digestible (by cooking them), since we lack the three extra stomachs required to break down cellulose?

speak for yourself.

My minions pre chew everything for me.

As is the "but your teeth are pointy, eat a steak" argument that this is obviously a counter point to. That part isn't an amazing argument, the part about most people not currently being able to kill stuff themselves is a good point, I think people are far too disconnected from their food. Either way, the guys a bit of a twat but not an epic fail in any way.

The ‘not being able to kill your food’ thing always raises an eyebrow with me. It’s true, I can’t trap, skin and butcher an animal. I also can’t assemble a car.

I think it's the killing part which people are drawing attention to, not the lack of skills.

But Vegans don't eat grass.

Tell me more about how you don't have to cook your raw chicken to make it digestible

Bro, do you even chicken sashimi?

i got nothin to eat in this old house
i gotta go out and catch a mouse
i can't be wrong so i gotta be right
it's eat or be eaten
something's hungry like a hunter
and it's probing like a fingerrr
as the drumbeat keeps things hurrying
that's the part that's so appealing
it's the beat that dominates
each breath you draw
each step you take
strike or be stricken
eat or be eaten yum yum yum yum
eat or be eaten
your skills are highly specialized
but still that girl can magnetize
you sense the hunger in her eyes
it's beat or be beaten
there's no softness in her eyes
a weird dull glint is in her eyes
with a stubborn will to tantalize
like some cheap devil in disguise
and it's troubling me
hell it's nervy that's what it is
eat or be eaten
beat or be beaten
strike or be stricken
the night is dark the night is pulp
tilt back your head and take a gulp
of air that's screamed a thousand times
the main thing is to victimize
it's just the night for a conquering tribe
oh, it's just the night for a conquering tribe
eat or be eaten
beat or be beaten
faster than the arrow flies
or the man who smiles while he lies
it's just the night for a conquering tribe
and the girls are calling in her yellow dress
that girl is calling in a yellow dress
she says eat eat eat here boys
eat eat eat here boys
and then a bop a doo ba doop ba abop
a dooba ba bop bohma bop a doo bop bohm
a doopee dee a dop adoop
a bum bayo bayum bohmbayum

Chris Grayling and everything he fucking touches.

Heathrow next... Imagine the damage he can do with a major international transport hub. Cunt.

the part about most people not currently being able to kill stuff themselves is a good point

Put me in a room with a pig and tell me to kill it or I starve and I'll have a good bash at snapping it's neck. Failing that I'm sure I could strangle it or bash it's head on the floor till it died or stamp on some of its vital organs or something.

It seems like just one step removed from the argument that vegans like to make that if you want to eat something you should be willing to slaughter it.

I'm perfectly willing, I just think there are incredibly far more humane ways to go about ending the like of an animal than me hacking at it with a knife, or snapping it's neck, or bashing its head on the floor or so on.

Having someone else do it. If it was a kill or starve situation most people would choose kill, I'd have a go, but this is just everyday eating and ignoring how horrible it is. Plus to be fair, however you kill the poor fucker, that's probably the best bit of its shitty existence.

I'd rate your chances of coming out alive at about 75/25 in favour of the pig.

Put me in a room with a pig and tell me to kill it or I starve and I'll have a good bash at snapping it's neck.

And if there was also a supply of veggie burgers in that room? Still have a good bash? I wouldn't. I'd probably share my veggie burgers with the dude.

So if the choice is veggie burgers or slaughter a pig in a grossly inhumane manner, obviously veggie burgers.

Picking them off the shelf in the supermarket...

Probably veggie burgers too as my wife is veggie and I eat veggie for 90%+ of my meals.

Pigs don't share.

We share a lot of the same genes.

The main issue I have with this is that I prefer beef to pork.

Beef, pork and lamb are pretty much on a par for me. I try not to eat poultry as a) I don’t find it appealing and b) my wife loves birds (and so do I) so doesn’t like me eating it around her. She doesn’t really mind me eating other meats but probably wouldn’t be too happy with me eating the likes of veal.
