| Cannibalism. Is it really as bad as they make it out to be? | |||||||||||||||
| Ever see the movie Alive? Most people have heard about the Donner Party. Most people abhore the very idea of people eating other people. Apparently I am not most people. The thought of eating others of my own species doesn't even seem out of line to me. I figure I am going to have to turn to it eventually. | |||||||||||||||
| According to scientists, the Earth is going to reach its carrying capacity within my lifetime. What people don't realize is that when it does, that means that every resource is going to be going to keeping the humans alive. That does not leave much room for the "lesser" animals. Now don't get me wrong. I love cows. They are some of the nicest animals ever, but it just so happens that I like to eat them a lot. Friends come second to my stomach. I would sell my family into slavery to get some food, even when I have only gone an hour without. I don't have any will power in that area. That would explain why I am so fat. Oh well. When the Eath reaches its limit, the cows are going to go the way of the dinosaurs. Most people will become vegetarians because they won't have any animals. Not me. | |||||||||||||||
| When humans are the only animals left, I will not even entertain the idea of giving up meat. I would die without the sweet dead flesh. A satellite view of the planet at that time will show humans everywhere, like ants on a giant sphere of sugar. But there will be one area at least, that shows a five mile radius of barren earth, devoid of life, except for one dot in the middle. That dot will likely be me, chewing on the arm of some poor bastard who got too close. | |||||||||||||||
| Now we get down to the part that keeps most people from trying the sweet meat of homosapiens. Hey, bears and other animals that taste man-flesh can never go back. That speaks mouthfulls to me. Anyhow, the issue that keeps people from gnawing on eachother is morality. Most people think it is wrong and perverse to eat human. Why? It is all a matter of perspective. I am sure the cows and other animals that we eat would not see it as a bad thing if we began to experiment with new foods. When you get right down to it, people are just animals like any other. We seem to get the idea that we are better than everything else, and so we set ourselves apart from the rest of the world. We are not. We are a part of the whole, just like the ants, the birds, and the shit. We are made of the same things as everything else. There is no difference between us and cows, except for the fact that we were born a little more privileged. So, how could anybody possibly object to eating some carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. It's time to look at the big picture, not just our tiny corner of it. | |||||||||||||||
| Is it possible that people don't like the idea of eating something that they consider intelligent? If that is the case, I have had the answer to that predicament for years. Free range babies. If you don't bother to teach children anything, then they will be no different than livestock. They can be kept by shepards and dogs, to make sure they don't come to harm. Not that I really care what happens to them, but there is no use wasting good meat. Other than keeping them out of harm's way, nothing else will be done for them that would not be done for other livestock. They would hardly resemble our notion of what a human is, so it would be much easier to eat them. | |||||||||||||||
| The day when all of this comes about is much closer than anybody realizes. I am not about to be caught unaware and end up without meat. I will be prepared. I may even start now. The next vegetarian that notices me eating a bloody, undercooked steak and walks up to me to tell me how disgusting I am, is going to get eaten. If they don't want me eating their little animal friends, then perhaps they won't object to sacrificing themselves for what they believe in. Hey, Ghandi would have done as much for what he believed in. Or perhaps one of them will get some balls and challenge me to a fight. Not likely. It is a well known fact that vegetarians are weaker than the average human. Who knows? Maybe they will band together, or come at me in armies. I say bring them on. I'm ready.
