Wellness Times - Bakersfield’s Journal of Body, Mind and Spirit - Vegansexuals

This was a very interesting story to research, and it seems to be causing some discussion and thought amongst Wellness Times readers in Bakersfield. The issue of eating the flesh of dead animals - you know, whether this is really OK or not - seems to have struck a chord.

I’ve often wondered if we would be looking at a much different world if the thought of killing to eat simply didn’t arise in the consciousness of a civilized human being. I once read somewhere that if you think it is natural for humans to eat meat, then try eating only the flesh of an animal that you have killed with your bare hands. Throughout nature, carnivores kill with their own claws or teeth. Humans now have the technology and the wealth to grow food that is nutritious, delicious, healthy, and plentiful such that we do not need to kill animals for food. Yet, we are bombarded every day, all day and night, with advertising that makes eating dead animal flesh OK, normative, natural.
