“Ugh I smell dog shit. Either that or its milk powder. Why the fuck would there be dog shit in my house I don’t even own a dog. Could be a neighbours dog. Wait, no, that smell’s really morphing into milk powder. Actually, it’s pretty pleasant. You know, like malty, creamy. Like when there’s vanilla base notes in a perfume. After it dries down, but without the sweetness. Oh, it’s popcorn. I actually LIKE the smell of milk. I mean even though cows are exploited and shit and I don’t take animal products at all (or at least I try my best not to but my mom gets offended when sometimes I don’t eat her food) because its just really crude, y’know? Eating. Flesh. Does that sound very appetizing to you? Flesh. Fleshhh. F-l-e-s-h. Imagine you, biting into a raw animal carcass, you rabidly tearing into muscle, ripping apart veins and organs. ORGANS. Stringy, elastic, bloody, fantastic, dribbling down your chin. Sweet sweet blood. At this point it doesn’t really matter whether it’s deoxygenated or oxygenated. Just metallic, sharp copper ringing in your mouth, brutality embodied in a thin substance which you find yourself gargling like listerine. Dehumanized. You are an animal. We ARE animals. We constantly CONSTANTLY try to avoid that, but we are. What keeps us from killing our food ourselves is the fact that we force other ‘lowly’ mexicans, whatever the fuck poor people who have no choice. Survival is brutal. We think, “just for them it’s brutal, THEY’RE killing the animal. I don’t see it die. I don’t hear it’s shrieks. I don’t see the horror the pain the excruciating torture torment as their intestines are ripped out from them, thrown, worthless.” As we try to climb higher and higher, as we try to separate ourselves from the animals, we sink lower into self denial. We’re worse than lions, wolves, carnivorous animals whatever. At least they’re honest. At least THEY don’t RAISE animals to be killed. Its fucking slavery, man. At least THEY don’t overkill. They don’t slaughter, process, choke, abuse, rape, stick electric prods into the eyeballs of pigs just so that some asshole prick can have their fucking parma ham subway shit. They have the fucking integrity. You ask anyone, “what’s the difference between humans and animals?” One of them will go, “oh we’re smarter, waaaaay smarter.” And then you ask that person, “Why do we eat meat?” And then he goes, “Other animals do it.” What the ACTUAL FUCK? Is this some sort of peer pressure bullshit now? Okay, hypocrite, FIRST you claim we’re not animals, we’re ABOVE them. We’re more intelligent, we have self-control. THEN, you say, we eat meat because we’re just like other animals. I get it, meat tastes good. But it’s not good for you, I mean you can get e.coli, salmonella, diarrhea, mad cow disease, mercury poisoning, obesity (particularly obesity) the works. Cocaine feels great. It takes you places that you can’t usually go. But its not good for you. And the government does nothing about the fucking meat? You can’t survive on a diet of pure animal products. You can, however survive on a diet of pure non-animal products. Go vegan. Save the world.”
