The Nicefication of Eating Meat

[Monica]

Speciesism being popularized by a eugenicist is pretty insidious if you ask me.

You have it backwards. It's the people eating meat that are promoting/popularizing speciesism. That eugenicist, who happened to ALSO be a vegan and coined a term, wasn't popularizing speciesism by giving it a name.

It is the people who think it's horrible to kill humans, but ok to kill sentient beings of other species, who are engaging in and, as you say, 'popularizing' speciesism, just as the slave 'owner' engages in racism, and the misogynist engages in sexism.

Not the person who identifies it and gives a name to it. Call it whatever you like, but it is the people who are supporting the killing of sentient beings of other species, who are guilty of speciesism, Not the person who gave it a name.

I am not jumping on that bandwagon because the thought of a eugenicist, inserting his thought- forms into unsuspecting 20 year old college students, makes me literally sickened.  It is not by accident that he is so  ' renowned' and popular.  It is ideology that is crafted to bring people into the fold.  

It won't work though.  People are waking up to truth, and enough will see through the obstacle to move safely forward.

That's absurd. As a vegan, I probably use that term more than anyone else here, and I didn't even know who coined it. I barely even knew the name. I have never read his book and know less about him than you do.  

I think being full of gratitude for the immense gift that animals have given humans throughout the course of evolution is a connecting force that cuts through any sense of " speciesism".   We are all part of the same Body, the same planet.

Are you suggesting that it's ok to continue to violate, impose suffering upon, and even kill someone just because you 'show gratitude' for them?

Let's apply that to a human and see how that works:

Oh, I'm going to rape and murder you, because you are a weak woman and I am a strong man, but it's ok because I have gratitude for the immense gift you are giving me.

How does that work?

It it works for animals but not for humans, then that's specieism.
