I'm sick of people excusing bigotry from older generations by blaming their cultural surroundings. I was raised right wing and I know its not for me to say but I believe I've deconstructed that upbringing.

I'm also vegan and anarchist and consider myself feminist antiracist anticolonial antiableist and antiageist. Again whether I live up to those ideals as much as I could is not for me to say as an ablebodied white person living in the imperial core but my point is that looking at the social aspect I understand what it means to be against hegemony, to invoke defensive judgment and to see the world and most of the people in it in a very depressing and unflattering lens.

It's not *easy* to oppose hegemony. But it's also not *complicated*. Just the same as there were always anti slavery activists, and suffragettes and anticolonialists.

I was exposed to "humane slaughter" propaganda today so let me say this.

Humane means showing compassion and consideration: there is no way to needlessly take someone's life while displaying these qualities.

"
It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that, in adults, appropriately planned vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns can be nutritionally adequate and can offer long-term health benefits such as improving several health outcomes associated with cardiometabolic diseases.

Some minutes ago I learned about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono-_and_diglycerides_of_fatty_acids#:~:text=although%20animal%20fats%20are%20sometimes%20used%20and%20cannot%20be%20completely%20excluded%20as%20being%20present%20in%20the%20product . I didn't know, though I already avoided it because I avoid palm oil. It's usually found in packaged bread.

@Brian @Arseni https://understand-veganism.com/ claims that backyard eggs are a defensible utilitarian position - as a utilitarian I disagree: Backyard eggs are wrong because it is theft which causes direct harm. Hens like to brood on unfertilised eggs and also like to eat them raw. Especially since layer hens are bred to lay 30x more eggs than they would in the wild in order to prevent calcium deficiency the best thing to do with their eggs is feed them back to them.

All of this can be understood through a utilitarian lens and rule utilitarianism can cover abstract abuses more typically thought of as deontological like treating someone as a means to an end

I just read a fascinating review paper entitled:

How Do Children Value Animals? A Developmental Review - By Karri Neldner & Matti Wilks

Abstract:

"From a young age, children are deeply curious about animals. Stable patterns exist in the types of attitudes children display towards different kinds of animals: they love pets, value animals that are beautiful, and fear snakes and spiders (Borgi & Cirulli, 2015). Until recently, we’ve known little about what children think about the moral standing of animals, particularly relative to other entities, including humans. In this review, we synthesize the literature examining children’s perceptions of the moral worth of animals. We present factors about the animal, and factors about the judge (the child), shown to impact children’s evaluations of animal moral worth. Based on current evidence, we make the claim that children grant animals a high moral standing early on in childhood, but that this decreases during late childhood, throughout adolescence, and into adulthood. We provide some suggestions for the cognitive and cultural mechanisms that might drive these differences, and make recommendations for the field going forward."

I am keen to read the other papers published in PHAIR (Psychology of Human-Animal Intergroup Relations).
