Why does the ethics of meat-eating seem to be the most fashionable topic in philosophy today?
Why does seemingly every philosopher currently working feel the need to devote thousands upon thousands of words to this issue?
Are we as a society too comfortable and pre-occupied with 'luxury issues,' like whether it's OK to eat meat?
fuck i could go for some rotisserie chicken right now
they don't want to talk about the real issues
It's just one piece of a patchwork of concerns regarding the future of our planet which is under a lot of stress with overpopulation.
>>7839386
I realise this is not a very helpful post
it's more that meat eating is something that you can acceptably have a strong opinion on
what are some debates you would like to see?
>>7839416
I think I made it clear that I am the same person in both posts
>>7839374
Why do you feel as if it's a luxury issue? In contrast to what?
>>7839390
this desu
it compiles all our anxieties about ecology, indulgent consumerism and unrelenting industrial production into one neat package which goes down amazingly with a splash of gravy

>it's more that meat eating is something that you can acceptably have a strong opinion on

>>7839407
You can acceptably have an opinion on loads of things as longs as you're well spoken and aren't an absolute cunt.
>>7839490
>doesn't evolution favor meat eaters though
You should not only learn what evolution means but also the history of it because you obviously don't know shit
I think you meant to say natural selection and if that's the case, you're wrong
Our distant ancestors hardly ate meat
>>7839374
Not a luxury issue
Third worlders eat meat, but could also not eat meat too
A luxury issue is deciding which meat you want to eat and where you will get it from, or if you will get it delivered to your door
>>7839499
Oh yeah megafauna were just hunted to extinction for shits and giggles, not food.
get the fuck out of here you waterbrained vegetable
>>7839494
list some of those things that are actually worth debating
It's not a luxury issue desu. Has more impact than racism or any Sexism bullshit.
Matters more than brown people dying or atheism
just a bunch of white ass 1st world babbys who don't care about real issues
>>7839504
>hardly somehow equates to never
>thinks the extinction of these animals was completely due to human hunting
You don't know what you're talking about. Please stop talking.
we are all going to die anyway, so why should I care about some dumb ass animals lol
i did not ask to be born, so therefore, I should feel the greatest amount of pleasure between my birth and my death, and guess what, eating meat is part of that plasure
>>7839514
It's not like i care either way, fuck animals, they'd eat me if they could, but they can't cause I'm better than them. Might makes right which is why meat tastes good, fight me irl.

Contemporary moral issues:
Philosophical anarchy
Abortion
Oppression
Human Cloning
Kidney Sales
Famine Relief
Meat Eating
Euthanasia
Guns
These are pretty pertinent ethical issues IMO. Plus, unlike metaphysics and other areas of philosophy, contemporary ethics can actually influence how a system treats issues. Who says philosophy is merely mental masturbation?

I think 20-something men who consider meat-eating an integral part of their masculinity are hilarious.

Fruits arent sentient beings so you can't apply that... And eat raped, torturated, mutilated animals is inmoral.
>>destroying lives of workers with pesticides and altering, and destroying ecosystems
well, its not comparable with all the damage that cause the meat industry, do you think that a guy who kill everyday cows have good mental health? and what about all the fucking lands, forest that are just for the cow industry...?
>>7839565
Im pretty much have traditional values, im not homosexual and meat eats usually put all kind of vegetables/condiments in the meat of animals because it would taste like shit.

yes. our distant ancestors were also monkeys without the capacity to speak. the implement of meat into the diet contributed to the rapid growth of the human brain. i love getting lectured on evolution and natural selection by fucking morons.

I'm out
Why don't people talk about how grains are one of the worst things to eat?
>>7839615
THIS
what a bunch of hypocrites, it's fucking obvious that humans feel empathy towards cute animals
It's not a luxury issue, it's extremely pressing. Animal agriculture contributes more to greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector. To all those in this thread who mentioned the negative environmental impact of growing plants, that's just a stronger argument for a plant based diet. We grow more plants than we would otherwise in order to feed livestock. That's where the vast majority of grain, corn, soy, etc. grown in the US goes. Eating more plants means growing less.
Philosophers talk about it because our meat addiction causes torturous, inhumane deaths by the billions every year.

what is their solution to the meat "problem"? eating grains and pills?

>Vegans have the same libido, retard
Depends on what you consume and supplement with, but the vegan diet is not notorious for helping one's sex hormones due to a lower intake of zinc, protein and b-12.

>Fruits arent sentient beings so you can't apply that... And eat raped, torturated, mutilated animals is inmoral.
Yes, fruit is just a product, but a product produced by plants - which are - according to some - sentient beings. Abusing the shit out of these with pesticides and admixturing their genetics, against their will, is immoral then. Life is life.
>not comparable
Yes it is, a bigger, according to you, impact on the ecosystem and the failing health of the produce's manufacturers doesn't discredit the problem of "smaller" ones.
>>7839581
clearly bait, but the real reason "the west is declining" (which it's not) is because today's generation grows up indifferent to pretty much everything (thanks largely to television and such) and thus has forced themselves into false feelings of empathy on whatever the topic of the day be. pseudo-empathy is what results in believing we should just let any terrorist in to whatever nations because it is founded on almost no truth or fact, it's simply just the person thinking i-must-be-empathetic-because-tv-told-me-to-be, but these people will move onto the next issue as soon as it comes up and immediately forget about the last one. watch your standard news program. note how quickly they move on from "explosions in brussels" to "cute puppy does something cute" to "home invasion leads to rape and murder".

>According to researchers at the Institute for Applied Physics at the University of Bonn in Germany, plants release gases that are the equivalent of crying out in pain. Using a laser-powered microphone, researchers have picked up sound waves produced by plants releasing gases when cut or injured. Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers whine when their leaves are cut [source: Deutsche Welle].
>There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia found that plants understand and respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars that are dining on them. As soon as the plants hear the noises, they respond with several defense mechanisms [source: Feinberg].
>For some researchers, evidence of these complex communication systems -- emitting noises via gas when in distress -- signals that plants feel pain. Others argue that there cannot be pain without a brain to register the feeling. Still more scientists surmise that plants can exhibit intelligent behavior without possessing a brain or conscious awareness [source: Pollan].
http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-01-09/new-research-plant-intelligence-may-forever-change-how-you-think-about-plants
They react to being destroyed and scream. How much more evidence do you specieist shitlord need? Just because your limited, human-tailored senses can't perceive their pain, their face, does not mean it does not exist.

well, of course they gonna have some mechanism of respond, duh, they have life.

Pain is a reactive mechanism.
If an alien has developed an "alien" way of reacting to its environment and avoiding destruction, and if that alien gets specific sensations/signals from said destruction if its material being, then that is pain - not its medical definition, being dependent on carbon-based lifeforms and their nervous systems, but a philosophical one.
![Kimpotatohead-33-06].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/q4Dr9qX.jpg "Kimpotatohead-33-06].jpg")
>>7839825
except aliens doesnt exist.
Again plants dont have a brain that alow them to feel pain as we and animals feel. And its they feel pain what they gonna do? run away? just stand and scream? Of course we expect a reasonable reaction because it have life, but we cant go full emphaty. Theres not reason to be philosophical i think...
>>7839859
Plants communicate chemically with each other.
It's conceivable that they "scream" chemically to allied plants in order to secure healing resources that would otherwise be difficult to obtain, or to warn other nearby plants of the same species to execute a specific defense mechanism.
Even if plants did have a mind-center, you would move the goal-posts again to make eating plants right and eating meat wrong, because you don't actually care about suffering, you just want to win the morality high ground, fucking disgusting.
>>7839374
Being an ethical consumer is the crux of personal responsibility when you're in a capitalist environment.
Meat eating ties into climate change, superbugs, and the way immigrants are treated. Plus factory farming causes insane amounts of suffering as well as being very inefficient in terms of resources including space and food.
>>7839557
Same senpai
>>7839901
how do you respond to the question of plant suffering
>>7839859
>except aliens doesnt exist.
It was used as a theoretical example, but astrobiologists would probably slightly disagree with you on that point, considering the vastness of the universe.
What signifies the "brain"? Do you really need to have this specific anatomically mammal body-part, a mixture of chemicals and protein connected to nerves, to feel "pain"?
It does not matter whether they run or stand and scream - human and animal reactions as we know them do not possess a monopoly on "pain" - what matters is the existence of a reaction to destruction.
>but we cant go full emphaty
Why not? Life is always worthwhile.
>>7839544
Don't forget racists.
>>7839901
>Being an ethical consumer is the crux of personal responsibility when you're in a capitalist environment.
This completely ignores social grace and compassionate interpersonal interaction, which is very important to quality of life, and is typical of a communist
>>7839913
It's not suffering in the way that we understand suffering. Thinking otherwise is just anthropomorphizing. It's not a guarantee that plants *aren't* suffering, but it is a guarantee that animals in fact are.
>>7839926
One doesn't preclude the other, and you'd be pretty self-centered to put your feefees over the tremendous suffering antibiotic resistance is going to cause.

nigga they can react to negative stimults WITHOUT the experience of pain, its called nociception! plants dont say "wow this is really hot i must get out of here hueheu". So yeah, plants dont feel pain!

>Do you really need to have this specific anatomically mammal body-part, a mixture of chemicals and protein connected to nerves, to feel "pain"?

Yeah ME and in MY case, but then all other possibilities of "brains" and "pain-centres" are being wrongfully ignored because you cannot accept the fact that life cannot be sustained without suffering, and that your blissful world of non-harm and white-and-black moral sentiments is challenged.
What happens if you come across a queer silicone-based lifeform, something lovecraftian - would you deny it feeling pain if you happened to stab it and it cried some guttural scream, would you deny it feeling pain because you have not mapped its brain yet to see if it looks like yours?

We ignored for SOME reason, we as herbivorus dont understand those crazy so called "pain" that you referers, we are biological inept if you want. Thats why you can say "Awww" when you see a chicken and her babies, or empathysies with pain of a dog suffering.
and your arguments are "if this happend... or this occurs..." wtf?
The mother nature is intelligent. She doesnt not permit that they system be eable to feel pain without giving him a capacity to respond

My friend is doing a PhD in this banal shit. I used to hold him in such high regard
I've always thought that being a vegan due to moral issues is stupid.
I became a vegetarian after watching cowspiracy, which was roughly around the same time that the paris attacks happened.
There I realized that I didn't really care about terrorism, war, animal suffering etc. Most aspects of real life / politics just made me depressed.
Now, it's not because I lack empathy. I've been told that I'm a very empathic person, but I view morality as a broader sense of empathy that society pushes down on you.
I found it really liberating, when I realized this.
It feels great being a vegetarian and not really caring about animal welfare, or supporting refugees but not really caring about them. Everything feels so much more real when you know it's fake.
That's why I think arguing over ethics in this regard is kinda pointless. Maybe in 100 years, eating animal meat will be seen as immoral as eating humans. But then maybe in 200 years, as some other anon pointed out, we'll find out that plants feel as much pain as humans, and then what the hell are we supposed to eat?
I would love for the human race to live in perfect symbiosis with nature, but untill we find a way to do that, we're gonna need to survive somehow, and we're gonna do that by not eating meat.
Our meat consumption is killing the planet, but most of all, it's killing us. We don't need to discuss ethics, because this is not a luxury issue, we just need to stop eating meat. So just stop viewing this as a moral problem, embrace egoism, and realize that we need to be vegans for our own sake.
fuck animals
if you still eat meat then you've made it clear enough that you have no control over the most basic animal impulses
think for ten minutes about things like water usage, pain, and the pleasure that you derive from meat. if you genuinely have trouble after this point, you are proof of moral degeneration
>>7840964
If you still do not think the demise of all sentient beings should be hastened in every possible way you're stuck on the lowest levels of myopic empathy.
Don't hesitate, accelerate.

>Exploiting, dominating, or harming a sentient being is wrong. I can't find good reason to exclude animals from that category, and I don't want to do things that are "wrong," so I am vegan.

>Exploiting, dominating, or harming a being of Sentience Qualification Rank 99 or higher is wrong. Humans are rank 99, and everything else is below rank 99 - as decided by [ability to play the piano / capacity to appreciate Adult Swim cartoons / some other one of my uneducated, arbitrary gut feelings about what kinds of sentience count as "important"].

i was more referring to the fact that you think you and philosophy (??) are above "life and its squabbles" or something. you are undoubtedly a teenager or someone who has accomplished very little in their life and yet salivate over the idea of "greatness" because you are insecure about the fact that being "average" would mean you have no personality or personal meaning.
i'm sorry for that. one day you'll get over that whole platonism kick you're on right now
