Overnight News: Is misanthropy at the bleeding heart of modernity’s anti-meat mania?

Someone once told me that people savor meat because they like the taste of fear. I don’t know if that was supposed to put me off my feed, but it didn’t. I’m perfectly willing to credit the proposition, accepting it as a fortuitous genetic adaptation: We relish the food we thrive on. Big duh.

Odysseus is beefing about bugs in dog food today, and those weak, meek, short, frail, skinny, mousy people are always yammering on that one protein is just as good as another – but this is obviously not so. We get more from meat than its proteins, and that something more may be the literally-ruminative flavor of savage predation – paleo-drool-bait.

Whatever. We are meat-eaters – omnivores who dine on his contributions and hers: Meat and anything else, otherwise. Likewise our pets. Dogs eat what we eat because that’s why paleo-mom let them stay indoors in the first place – to eat our garbage before the bugs get to it. Cats eat meat and fish – period.

People who would cause a pet to be born only to torment it for life with a virtue-signaling diet are instantly suspect, in my estimation. People who would inflict that kind of diet on their fellow men are monsters.
