haha! I should show you the amount of bacon in my freezer. Organic and uncured of course!

Uncured?
Who'd want to eat sick bacon?

Do you enjoy offending people who are sensitive to animal cruelty? I triple dog dare you to read this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig
And continue feeling super gleeful about your lust for animal flesh. Let me know if you could get through all that, specifically the relationship with humans section. Pigs are very biologically similar to humans...do you also enjoy eating humans? Sorry, not sorry. There’s no reason to come into this thread and proclaim your gluttonous consumption of pigs when we were speaking in terms of respect for the animal in the first place. You are of course entitled to your opinion and can post whatever and wherever you like if not violating the forum rules...but your comments would be more appropriate in a thread about cooking/meat/etc.

Bacon cures everything.

As far as I know Monarch, this wasn't a thread about animal cruelty. Lighten up for goodness sake. No one is trying to offend you but there are lots of people who enjoy meat whether you like it or not. Comparing people who eat meat to eating people is ridiculous.

That pigs suffer in our food system is certain – as is the fact that they think and feel emotions. It’s up to us now to think of that as enough. It’s up to us to think and feel differently about pigs.

For instance, each year in the US roughly 110m pigs are killed for meat. Where is the same public outcry over bacon?

The simple answer is emotional prejudice. We just don’t care enough about pigs for their needless suffering to pull at our heartstrings. As Melanie Joy, social psychologist and expert on “carnism” points out, we love dogs, yet we eat pigs, and there are simply no good moral reasons for such hypocrisy.

Dogs and pigs are quite similar in all the features that seem to count morally to most people. They have similar social intelligence with rich emotional lives, both can use human-given cues to locate objects, both might be able to use a mirror to locate objects (though research suggests pigs might have an advantage here) and, of course, both animals have a deep capacity to suffer and a desire to avoid pain.

As a psychologist who studies the way people think morally, I am sobered (and saddened) by the cold truth that people are often blind to the inconsistencies in their thinking, particularly when animals are involved.

Our moral psychologies are good at finding fault, but not when the spotlight is turned toward our own practices and preferences.

I am not perfect and working on it every single day. I am not a vegan and eat fish. I wear leather though I no longer will purchase it and am only wearing what I have already. I don't judge those who eat meat or wear leather etc. (I do judge those who wear fur but that is another conversation).

And from @monarch64's link:

are known to be one of the most intelligent domesticated animal species in the world.

@luv2sparkle I don't think you are being intentionally thoughtless and it is your right completely and thoroughly to eat whatever you want to and I am not trying to convince you otherwise.(Unless you think I could and then I would love to LOL) But yeah I thought that perhaps you were being a bit insensitive (though I don't think you were doing it purposefully) with your last post or so. But it's a free country and I am not telling you what to do or what not to do just explaining it from another perspective.



My apologies for the threadjack...back to the real villain and horrible being here. Dr Larry Nassar. Someone should cut him up in a million little pieces and cook him but he wouldn't ever be fit for consumption. One would die of food poisoning from his extreme toxicity.
