396. You don't understand how nature works
Again --- creating the violence of an animal-eating industry is not evolution --- it's greed.


Nature is cruel and greedy.

GRAIN is a natural part of our diets


What is a natural part of the diet of a being naturally able to scavenge is dependant on what there is to scavenge.

But do make up some nonsense about what is "natural" anyway.

When we have come this close to destroying our own species --- and our fellow animals ---
and the planet --- I would saying that this is because we have behaved in UNNATURAL ways.


We behaved in perfectly natural ways.

You just don't have the first clue what nature really is.

We are part of nature and nature is not suicidal. We are.


Nature is neither suicidal nor non-suicidal. It simply is.

It does not care about being greedy, or generous, kind or nasty - these are simply consequences of the many strategies that the evolution of energy processing machines has developed in order that the next generation of energy processing machines may be more widespread.

Apparently you're labouring under some sort of Disney inspired view of what nature is.
