    May I point you towards Friendly Carnivore

    Plants can’t run away so they defend themselves with chemical warfare. Most of us can detoxify a lot of the common food plants, but some of the accumulated toxins get most people in the end — a lot of the diseases of aging are effects of the poisons plants use

    At the lowest end they block nutrient absorption like tea blocks iron

    As you say, the more you know the less good they seem

    If you’re intolerant of some of the common food plants (for me it’s wheat and cocoa. Apparently my ancestors didn’t have wheat until 6000 years ago, and cocoa came with the Colombian exchange so no surprise many of British stock can’t handle all of those plants’ attacks

        No beef complains before the captive bolt gun turns the brain off forever

        They are protected from other predators which would give them a much more painful death

          …I’m not a vegan but wow. Cattle live a whole life of horror. Pretending that eating meat is more moral than than eating plants because they suffer less is plain deliusion.
