Part 5, last part: hunger cause

-----
Personally, I eat meat, though not a lot. No cold meat on bread (almost never), no pig (it seems I cannot digest it too well, I quickly get pimples), but meat 2-3 times a week for lunch or dinner: if so, then it is mosly chicken, sometimes beef, rarely lamb or calf. I eat a lot of fish.
The contemporary debates abot animalsd rights, reducing joy in eating to compensate the insane birth rates in other parts of the world, and other such nonsense, leaves me completely unimpressed. I am for fair treatment of animals, I think who wants to eat meat must agree or must be able by mind to kill with his own ahnds, and I am agains the sometime sinsaneny cheap prices for meat in German supermarkets, andf the eocnomic pressure these prudce - and that leads to low wquality, and curel farmign conditons for animals.
Living goes atthe cost of other life, killing to eat is part of life, and I accept that. But I do not like to be cruel, cruelty towards animals drives me wild. I am, convinced that today's isnane population levels, gobally, cannot be fed without industrial and intensive farming and lifestock holding. For that reason I am in princple supportive for genetical manipulation of plants, though I wanr of the dangers that must arise if one allows monopolism in this industry - this must be prevented at all cost. Practices like Monsanto is famous for, are criminal and against the human global interest.
Slauightering shouold, wehreever possible, be done in place, on the farm. Anbimals, until their time has comel, should be allowed to live naturally and be killed without pain, stress and cruelty.
To me there are fundamental philosophical objections to seeing animal rights as equal and on same level to human rights.
I would tolerate artificial laboratory meat from the test tube, if it has the same consistency and taste and behave sthe same way during pan processing in itchen, like biological meat. in other words: when it is a full and worthy replacement. I can imagine to then become a a consumer exlcus9vely of lab meat. But they have still a very long way to go there.
Some vegetarian dishes cna atatse well, of course, I cook some myself, and my mother excelled in that. But so far I have never tasted anythign that even gets close to beaing a surrogate for meat worth to be cosnidered.
Vegan food from the lab all too often tastes simply like ####.
Feeding yourself healthily as a vegan, is very difficult, needs plenty of kowledge, has nothign to do with natural food habits, and by design we are neither carnivores, nor herbivores, but omnivores.
I also insist on food associated with enjoyment and "fun", I mean the taste plays a role, and a big one. The self mortification of fanatical food messiahs that want to make the world not eating this not eating that, remainds me strongly of the mortification of relgious christian fanatics in Calvinism and Protestantism: duty and suffering, no joy, no sex, no pleasure. I just have redcued weight from 90 to 75 kg over the past 10 months, so I know how to eat moderately, but I refuse to demonise every little sin, and ever yplewasure and I do not eat what does not fit my taste and what I do not enjoy to eat, no matter how healthy somebody says it is. I also refuse to eat politically correct, or to eat according to mainstream opinions. I eat and let others eat, but do not try to give me rules I should obey. My food must taste me well.
And that includes meat from killed animals and cooked in the way I like. If somebody likes that or not, I do not care.
In the end we all will die anyway.
