Q2.So the question is: why are we not disgusted by the select(ed) species we have learned to think of as edible?
Q3.Do you know any way to get meat without violence or harm to animals?
Q4.Did you have heard about how people get meat like above?
Q5.Was there anything wrong on your mind when you were young?

Hi, Albert, it's easy to embed a youtube clip into your post. When you're editing, use the youtube tag (on the far right of the tags), insert the copied youtube url, and then take out the "s" in https. In another words, simply use http instead of https in the code.

And many thanks for picking up a very good topic. I like it. :D It's such a dilemma that most of us are animal lovers but also cannot live without meat.

"Carnism is a concept used in discussions of humanity's relation to animals, defined as a prevailing ideology that conditions people to support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat."


herbivore or carnivore, good or bad, that really depends on people. actually the way the world goes is indeed decided by the preference of human beings, no matter good or bad, or right or wrong lo~ 8)
i might be a cynic and, a sceptic as well but, i'm definitely not a bad person!!

When I just finished watching the video clip, I was considering quitting eating meat. :cry: The feeling was so strong-- almost like a trauma. Luckily, I checked out my teeth in the mirror, only to find that I'm still a omnivore with molar and canine teeth. :twisted:

I do have noticed that there are more and more vegetarians around me these days.
They are healthy, happy, and energetic, though sometimes they give me guilt trips (or I just think too much? :p

I have a doubt about the nutrition part. Vegans are not suppose to even have eggs and milk. Is it easy for them to cover the animal protein with vegetable protein? If we human beings can do it, how about dogs and cats? Can we raise those pets with canine teeth without feeding them meat?

Personally, I think the Chinese translation of the TED title sucks. "摒棄肉食主義,迎向理性──真誠的食物選擇" does not convey the sense of "Beyond Carnism and toward Rational, Authentic Food Choices" It doesn't say "discard" or "give up" carnism; instead, the word chosen is "beyond" which put it different from other veganisms. May I suggest some more questions?

7. What do "beyond carnism" and "authentic food choice" mean in the title?
8. What are carnism, vegetarianism, omnivorism and veganism?
9. What is ethical omnivorism? Why does the vegan philosophy criticize and reject the very concept of ethical omnivorism? (from wiki)

The question sheet that Albert prepared for the meeting today is a tough act to follow

They enjoyed select wines and foods at a Portuguese restaurant tonight.

Sabrina just had acupuncture for her knee. ; give somebody acupuncture; practice acupuncture

We can take dietary supplements if we don't keep a balanced diet.

Some people think those who promote animal rights are hypocritical.

Dogs used to be wild animals but they have been domesticated by human beings.

Jason was just being agreeable during the group discussion with Rock.

Artificial meat is still at infant stage of development and very pricy.

If you had been with us in the Portuguese restaurant TUGA, you would have find that David Jr.'s act is tough to follow, too. His wild energy seemed impossible to be domesticated; the ladies just loved him! I don't want to be hypocritical or agreeable: you really should be there next time and learn something. Our social skills, comparing with his, is at infant stage of development. As for me, I was overwhelmingly amazed at his hosting so my jaw dropped. It won't recover in some time. Now I'm looking for acupuncture therapy in hope that I can speak tomorrow.

I forgot to remind Albert to keep the attendee list. Now my short memory can only recall these names: Kooper, Gloria, Albert (the host), Jin, Amy, Laura, Luis, Michael, Sophie, Sabrina, Ramesh, Julian, Rosie, Jessica, Iris, Stephen, Catherine.... Who do I miss?
