Does the suffering of farmed animals impact the effect eating animal products has on your body?
>>41693159YES
>>41693159Well, if by eating their body, you absorb their protein, you may also absorb some of the stress chemicals if they are present at time of slaughter
some primals come in deeply bruised. some come in loose and flabby, others come in tight and stiff.
>>41693159how you prepare affects it, how you eat affects it, when you eat affects it, what you eat it with affects it and so on, but yes it is important to find animal that does not live in cruelty for say the last six months of its life, that is the time it approximately takes for most negativity to flush out of ordinary system.
>>41693159Yeah just spend 3x more and buy directly from organic farmers. I hope you have lots of money.
>>41693349>I'm okay with hideously torturing animals because i really like the taste of flesh but am too cheap to buy the non-tortured animal flesh>>41693291this is true, but there is a vibrational component as well. I'm not aware of a proper physics model of how it works but its effects are real. Like organ transplants conferring habits of the donor to the donee.
>>41693159No. Gay vegetarians btfo.
When the animal is eviscerated its spirit or vibrational qualities are also cleaved from its flesh, thus the transfer of its suffering is nil. Consuming a creature after being a direct witness to its death will cause more harm to your spirit.As another anon said, its stress chemicals may remain in its flesh which cannot be completely cooked out.Devouring a live animal does impart its suffering onto you. However, the exact effects of this are unknown; does consuming the suffering of another creature make you stronger, or does imbibing its pain twist your own being.I think the severance between slaughter and consumption of animals can be a be a beneficial thing for the spirit of your populous; it never has to know the face of what's been killed.Yet, in creating this kind of system, other ugly peculiarities through greed, commerce, and overproduction do bleed into the final product and taint the consumers' soul.So, it's not necessarily the farmed suffered, slaughter, and consumption of animals that hurts the spirit, but the process by which it moves from farm to table that does a more great deal of harm.Also, pesticides, corn and feed additives, antibiotics, and all of the things treating animals while being farmed can cause carcinogenic damage to your body.So a small 'no,' but a big 'Yes.'
I hope the answer is yes so that we have an universally accepted reason as to why it matters to save them from that nightmare and enforce better animal welfare laws all over the planet.
>>41693159Have any anons raised and eaten their own livestock? Any difference in the meat?
>>41693159I don't know but I'd be less concerned about eating factory farmed meat you found in a dumpster and more concerned about paying for the factory farming by purchasing, transporting, cooking, etc the meat https://benthams.substack.com/p/the-causal-inefficacy-objection-is?utm_source=publication-searchhttps://www.reddit.com/r/DebateAVegan/comments/1otuhqv/individual_boycott_of_meat_does_matter/
