Actually a lot of people do. Conditioning can do a lot, and there is no doubt that everyone who talks about loving rare steak and the like isconditioned to do so. Again, I don't think that's a problem when it occurs in a natural sense, but when meat factories pop up, and people devise ways(undoubtedly evil and cruel ways) to fatten up animals and keep production costs down, that's a problem.Originally Posted by yarrh
neither do we salivate over plants or anything else for that matter.Originally Posted by DAYTONA 5000
Our bodies aren't even built for us to consume meat the way we do. Out of all the species on earth, we are the only "meat eaters" that can't eat raw meat at all. We have to cook it or else we get sick. When we see a deer on TV or at a zoo we don't just instantly start salivating. If we saw it laying dead on the side of the road we wouldn't just have a sudden urge to just go up to it and start eating it. Our diets are all messed up nowadays. Meat is a huge staple of it, when it really shouldn't be.
This society conditions and encourages mindless consumption. That's why we have a forum based on the consumption of shoes to discuss the mindlessconsumption of meat and dairy products.
And if you think meat is good for you, do some actual research and find some info. from non-biased sources of information. You can hardly trust the FDA thesedays, so even organizations like that don't count. Guess who funded the infamous food-pyramids back in the 60's that included a good amount of meat. The meat-industry. Comparable to cigarette companies advertising the health benefits of smoking. Again, the point is not to take my word for it, but to findout for yourself.
