A brilliant observation by Armory cotributor George Martin.
It’s the Food Chain (unless some one wants to eat us!)
by George Martin
To those who justify killing and eating animals by saying, “It’s the food chain”: my question to you is as follows…
Are you a part of this food chain?
If you answered “yes”:
Then by your own logic, there would be nothing morally wrong with someone killing and eating you, and then justifying it by using your argument of “It’s the food chain”. After all, if you’re a part of this system, you don’t get to be exempt from the rules—doesn’t work that way, I’m afraid. You can’t just be part of a system which you’re not even willing to comply with. And if you’re off-limits, then the animals are off-limits too.

Well, this brings up an interesting idea or two, aside from showing the logical fallacy of the food chain as well as its unfairness.
Maybe we should go back to Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal.” Swift noted that a year-old child is “a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.”
Swift’s satire referred to starvation in Ireland. But considering the problems of the world today, with climate change, desertification, crop failure, looming starvation, and overpopulation with over 8 billion human beings, we should revisit Swift. Under a fair and logical revision of the food chain, including ourselves as a protein source could be the solution.
The Church of Euthanasia advocates that those who cannot give up meat should practice cannibalism. Their website includes instructions on the proper butchering of human carcasses. Lol!
It claims to be the only anti-human religion. Considering the lack of outrage, I’m guessing its theological peculiarities haven’t been discovered.
