    I see that you’re only able to argue using words when discussing the Thanksgiving turkey. For which your arguments amount to “but it’s cooked tho” and “but only the consumption of the flesh happens on the day”. Okay, both correct, and both irrelevant. Meanwhile, you’ve responded to all of my core points not with words, logic, or meaning, but with guttural vocalisations of emotion. Thus, I infer that your only argument in favour of the carnist religion is an emotional one, intended not to persuade but to intimidate. So I repeat my claim that no scientifically minded person could agree with your religion.

    There’s no way a person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would eat corpses. Not unless they were in a situation of absolute desperation. A person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad, and would just eat plants instead. Even if it cost an extra four dollars per grocery trip.

    Corpse eating happens because of tradition and dogma. Because “that’s the way we’ve always done things.” We indoctrinate children into this blood cult and normalise violence the same way some religions normalise genital mutilation or ritual sacrifice of humans. Hells, the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed, is a ritual sacrifice.

    A religion is not defined only by worship of gods, or else Buddhism would not be a religion. A religion can be defined by dogmatic, ritualised, inhumane practices taught to children from birth in the name of tradition. That’s what carnism is. I’ve never seen a defence of carnism that didn’t speak to some idea of “the natural order” or “tradition” or “the gods made them to be our food”, or some other religious nonsense.

    I think we need a doctors note for more than two days

    I don’t understand that policy. The only times in the last 4 years that I’ve needed more than 2 days of sick leave was because I had covid, and I think that’s a very common experience. And people with covid should absolutely not be going to the doctors office and exposing themselves to the sick and elderly. If someone has covid, you should be telling them to stay home. We’re currently in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

    You should read these memes slower so you can pay attention more. This meme is about calling in healthy on the day of. People don’t know if they’re going to be healthy in two days. So your comment has the opposite meaning of the one intended. You’re saying you do ask questions if someone asks for time off on the day, and therefore that you’re a restrictive boss who wouldn’t allow this meme.

    Obesity isn’t a social inequality problem, except in the sense that obese people are more likely to be poor, and to suffer obesity due to stress, poor nutrition, and addiction. Obese people are not oppressing anyone. If you want to talk about food waste while people starve, then talk about the corporations throwing perfectly good food in dumpsters that they put a padlock on to stop homeless people from dumpster diving.

    Sure, obesity was a sign of privilege and oppression 200 years ago, before modern agricultural practices such as the use of pesticides and heavy machinery. These days, there isn’t too little food, there’s too much. Starvation isn’t a problem of natural scarcity, and certainly not a problem of people eating too much. It’s a product of artificial scarcity, wherein good food is thrown away because people can’t pay for it. Your political theory is two centuries out of date. It’s time to stop hating fat people.
