What is wrong with entertainment, though? Taste is one of our senses, like hearing or seeing, having food that tastes good is not inefficient , it's lovely - I think having a good palate and appreciation for lots of flavors is a positive good in a life.
The animals we create are morally entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. Need additional reasons why sensory enjoyment must not be the primary criteria?
Why are you conflating animal foods and pleasure in eating? My vegan kid is a foodie, a good cook and a person who gets a lot of sensory enjoyment out of the texture and flavors of food. It's important to her.
I don't think drmoose would consider non–animal-based food entertainment as inefficient as e.g. butter
That's a very shallow take. Food taste good thus must be good? You do not dare to explore this any deeper?
? I grow vegetables and fruit, make healthy meals, mostly homemade. Sourdough bread, fermented drinks with odds and ends to divert waste. Why do people think good food doesn't taste good? Good food tastes great.
No one's argueing that food doesn't taste good but there's more to food than just taste and kinda sad that you don't see it.
I am so confused. Why do you think I said taste is the only thing that matters about food? I did not say that. I said that it does matter, and should not be devalued, would never argue that it's the only thing that matters, and never said that.
I think you genuinely have a reading comprehension disability.
and you reply with "but food tastes good" — duuuuuh but why would that matter to anything? like seriously dude, spend some time with yourself.
