Descartes is more forgivable then. Narveson's the real fool here. Even millions of people who love to eat meat wouldn't necessarily agree that it's right to make animals suffer just for fun. By the way, it's awesome you wrote this, since I didn't cover any of these deeper, philosophical reasons for eating meat in my sarcastic post. That’s very true. Descartes is more forgivable then.

I almost didn’t write it because the subject is so not funny. I wasn’t sure I wanted to “take the edge” off with humor. But I did manage to offend some people — I lost followers on Twitter after I posted a link to this. That’s something, I guess. ;-) @Lindsey: It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? But at least Descartes acknowledged that it would not be okay to torture animals if they felt pain. Modern anti-AR philosophers take the position that, sure, animals suffer, but it just doesn’t matter that much if we humans get something out of it. Narveson even thinks it’s not a big deal if animals are tortured for no reason. @foodeater: Thanks! I almost didn’t write it because the subject is so not funny.

You are so well-read on the philosophical opposition! What's up with Descartes? Is he really that much of a moron to think that God doesn't allow animals to feel pain? Hmm, I guess whatever massive amounts of human suffering going on at the time really didn't qualify as suffering either because "God" wouldn't have allowed it to happen. I've completely lost respect for him. Wow, this is great! You are so well-read on the philosophical opposition!

"Every year, the number of animals bred for food in the U.S. increases by the hundreds of thousands. Let's keep up the good work." I am laughing so hard right now, while shaking my head at the sad irony of it all. Being able to approach all this with a sense of humor helps to take the edge off. Thanks again for writing this. I just submitted it to Stumble Upon, it deserves a wider audience :) Well done! “Every year, the number of animals bred for food in the U.S. increases by the hundreds of thousands.
