Do you think our morality should be based on "the laws of nature"?

It is a dog eat dog world, just because you feel safe at the moment doesn't mean it isn't true. We don't regard human life never mind other animals, we will be top dogs until we encounter something else one day and we become the food. Hopefully the fat Americans will keep them full whilst we escape.
My 18 yo has decided to go vegan for Lent.
We shall see how it goes.
As long as they properly plan their diet they will be fine. Some people make the error of just eating vegan junk food. This link has some resources on that can help https://www.challenge22.com/challenge22/

I struggle to see the merit in what most humans think, let alone an animal. Then again, most human utterances can be summed up by "moo", "baa" and "oink". If we weren't supposed to eat them then we wouldn't have developed off the back of them being so productive and beneficial to us. You've been given the choice because of that development and each to their own from that point, but the pontificating is unreasonable, ill-judged, misdirected and unbecoming.

Does it make something morally acceptable because it was beneficial to us in the past? It could be argued that 200 years ago our society benefited from slavery being productive & beneficial, to the people who weren't slaves, does that mean it was unreasonabe, ill-judged, misdirected and unbecoming that people thought it should be abolished?

How would you feel if you suddently became someone else's food in this imagined future? Do you think it would be justified for them to cut you up and eat you,because they were now the dominant species or would you prefer it if they left you to go about your own business?

You don't get the choice in the matter as you are no longer top dog.

What would you prefer though in that situation?

Not to be eaten obviously but it is the eco system of the world. Once we have finished destroying the earth it will regenerate and something else will come along.

Animals don’t think like us humans though ffs. Most meat is bred for one reason, if it wasn’t needed they wouldn’t be here in the first place.
