    I love being imprisoned, force fed, tortured, and slaughtered at a quarter of my natural lifespan! Yay, so fun! :D

    I find the way animals are portrayed by the food industry extremely unsettling.

    Here’s the sketches of smug animals that led to making this smuggie - more of those on thebad.website

      This reminds me of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. They have a disturbing talking animal that is genetically programmed to want to be eaten, and it comes to your table in the restaurant and tries to convince you to eat it.

    Some day I’ll end up as worm food. I wonder if there exist any worms which (though genetically corpse eaters) would raise ethical concerns about eating human corpses? Would they draw cartoons about happy, carefree humans tapping contentedly away on their phones?

      If the worms started battery raising humans for food in awful conditions, breeding them to be as meaty and docile as possible, doing various horrible things to them throughout their lifespan, and marketing them in a suicide food way, then sure, plenty of ethical debates would arise.

      Most vegans would have no objection to someone eating roadkill (if the kill is unintentional), or killing and consuming an animal in an extreme survival context with no other choice. There’s not much of a moral conundrum for the worms there, food is food.
