So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?

Cognitive dissonance
Yeah. Basically same as buying shit from places known for child and slave labour.
Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.
If not food, why delicious?
Humans taste the same, wacko.
I know.
Some more bitter than others.
We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat. Some steak fries and light salad are optional.
I think that has mostly been debunked. Even the hunter gatherers were much more gathering than hunting, in the big picture. And fishing is probably more relevant than meat (if we're making that distinction). And later it was really agriculture that made our species what it is and it's very much the grains (and rice) that made the big difference.
Not a vegan btw.
I think you are giving a very eurocentric description of early humanity
You think? Most of the great fishing civilisations I think of are (South East) Asian, Indian, Japanese etc.
(Some of that might be based on Age of Empires info)
I'm mostly referencing your allusion to agriculture as a developmental milestone
Heh, fish are meat.
I agree. Still, the distinction is a very cultural one. So many cultures, even civilisations can trace their beginning back to a coastline or river. Hunting things like mammoths was actually quite rare, but it makes for better stories. Taxonomically there isn't even such a thing as a "fish".
Peak carnist brain. Sniffing their own farts too long.
Does being vegetarian make you lose your sense of humour?
Do you want less people to eat meat? Or do you just want to be a righteous snob on the internet?
Because those goals are mutually exclusive
Just a normal person. The majority of us eat meat. A sad minitory of people can't accept and get amusingly butt hurt by it.
