The divide is most often made between carnivore and herbivore. "Shit" flows up, meaning all the nasty stuff an animal eats lower in the food chain, goes up and accumulates in their predators. Carnivore meat is usually more disease ridden and unhealthy for consumption. Our culture has kinda evolved to this point naturally as a protection mechanism.

It's also the reason you should avoid eating too much of bigger fish species due to heavy metals. Smaller fish don't absorb as much, but bigger fish accumulates heavy metal for each small fish they eat.

I think the point isn't about practicality, but ethics. It's less practical to eat carnivores, but is it unethical? If it's ethical to kill and eat a cow, is it also ethical to kill and eat a horse? A dog? A cat?

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 50 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think you misunderstood the argument.

It's okay to eat puppies and kittens because they haven't accumulated as much 😌

I had a professor who was native american, and yeah, he spoke quite honestly about how they breed the dogs for meat, and the puppy is more tender. He said his friends would always joke with him when he went back to the reservation for holidays. I can't remember the exact joke, but it was something about how he would have to dig deep into the stew because the puppy was at the bottom.

Some parts of my country used to eat & sell dog meat during WW2. Now not anymore, for above reasons.
I think it's perfectly clear; the line is neccessity and taste vs. friend and practicality.
Also, third-level consumers are a waste of ressources in most cases, due to metabolic inefficiencies.

And yeah, horse meat is still a thing. Moschtbrökli (some dried good parts kept in apple juice) a more or less local speciality. Quite tasty btw.

Mostly we listen to our hearts...and stomachs...they sort of decide between themselves and let us know.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure all mammals are edible so I guess the line should be all the way left.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure none should be eaten so the line should be all the way right.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I put the line horizontally so I get to eat just the bottom half.

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Thanks, solomon

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

That is generally where most of the meat is.

I'm more curious why it's Cat->dogs->another Cat->other dogs

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 37 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 children)

The cat further on the right pissed in your shoes

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (6 children)

None of those are bred for meat.

Never tried dog btw, it's expensive and doesn't smell great.

Have you considered the animals we don't eat just don't taste good? 🤷‍♂️

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or they were too hard to domesticate?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I often wonder which animals would just go extinct if we stopped farming them. And which ones would trade in a shorter life of food, shelter, safety, and health instead of being in the wild and surviving, constantly preyed on.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (13 children)

Animals aren't concerned with extinction and don't have committees to vote on what kind of life they should have. They just want to live.

Many would go extinct as they were bred to be killed, not to survive in nature. I'm not sure if you were going there, but that's not an argument to not stop farming them. The intention here is to stop this cycle where hundreds of billions a year are born into a disfigured body, then live hell and suffering and misery then killed. They should go extinct and that should stop.

Can confirm. I've tasted dog; Not that good.

Horses are excellent sausage material though.

Because PETA is a piece of shit organization that doesn't actually require or deserve that kind of consideration.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

PETA is shit.

Don't let that stop you from considering empathy towards animals. Pigs shouldn't suffer because of bad representation.

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

Where does it say PETA?

Depends if you are shopping at Tesco

[–] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago

French bulldogs are not obviously more delicious than English bulldogs because they use more butter.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

The only conclusion that can be drawn is the maker of the graph tried them and listed them based on deliciousness

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago

All im gonna say is hare/rabbit should definitely be more to the right than horse

[–] shortypants@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Where are the delicious whales?

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why are some cats more edible than some dogs, bit less edible than other dogs?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I'd rather not upset the natural order if my cats are going to eat me when I die.
