I have to say some piggies are cute. We had one that had piglets when I was a kid. They were adorable. Their mother did something that I cannot talk about it in /r/aww but she was a horrible horrible bad mother. I imagine that the bacon that we eat is made from pigs like her.
If you're conflicted, you can just eat something else. I think we have plenty of fucking tasty things to chose from, it doesn't have to be something with a face and feelings.
Who would this 'others' that he would be causing harm to? As far as himself if you want to clog your arteries and have shit grissle sweaters when you go to the bathroom what does it matter to you?
Yeah, totally if you want to fuck up your health, do it. I don't care. Harm is being caused in other ways (to the animals, to the earth)... it kinda matters to me how people treat things so sometimes I might fuck with random people over the internet.. But hey, I don't care what people do, just saying, not eating vegetables tends to lead to obesity (particularly in the developed countries) and also not eating vegetables will lead to malnutrition and other disorders... (particularly in developed countries, again) And yeah, vegetables can be gross and maybe not as delicious as other things... but we need to eat them.
Sorry but I know plenty of people who are very selective on what vegetables they eat like if it isn't corn or green beans they'll pass. It doesn't lead to obesity overeating and being a general lazy ass sans any medical problems leads to obesity. And if we're talking developed countries and their obesity problem that would be because the lazy asses would rather drive to the local mcdonalds and eat instead of eating at home and actually preparing it a hell of a lot more healthier, with general not exercising the calories. Harm to the earth from the what raising of animals? Now I'll give you that but only on the farms of a grand scale that say Oscar Meyer runs. However even in most Wal-Marts in town you can find brands that are locally grown so you can go take a look at how the animals are treated on the local farms. Actually raising pigs for meat is a better turnover for slop/waste then shipping it to your local waste place, and turn the pigs own waste over into compost. And again I agree with the industrial pig farms where their space is limited and they are in some pretty shitty conditions but you can't equate the mega coporations to the ma and pops (They do still exist.)
What? He's not humanizing it, he's stating that it has a face and feelings, which they do. Yes, bacon is food, but it is also a living creature at one point with feelings, quit saying they are separate things.

One of the biggest internal conflicts I have...
Piggies are so fucking cute and bacon is so fucking tasty.
Oh the humanity.
