Potassium benzoate is a circular narrative in many ways where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule.

This shit pisses me off no end. Its simply anthropocentric, even if unintentional, to separate animals from people and can lead to a bias in favour of humans over other species. I would presume this is an inherently un-vegan notion.

Report

nickvicious (June 18, 2010)

Well, it may be anthropocentric in that we have a responsibility to care for this planet. A responsibility that doesn't replicate itself anywhere in nature. The future and it's inhabitants kind of depend on us to get our shit together. Even if you don't give a fuck about animals, there's no denying the environmental impact of animal agriculture.

Report

hhrules (June 18, 2010)

This.

Report

outbreak (June 18, 2010)

I fully agree with you about the horrific environmental impact that animal (or any form of but especially animal) agriculture has; in no way was I denying this or suggesting that we should abandon all aims at reducing humanities impact on the environment. Neither did I suggest that I dont "give a fuck about animals" or infer that I hold any anti-vegan views. However, in saying we have a responsibility "to care for this planet" you are suggesting it is something humans are obliged to do, which sounds scarily like the bullshit bible story that we are gods caretakers of the earth (a concept which is highly anthropocentric). Sure, the threat to the world's ecosystems are created by civilisation and every effort should be made to prevent this, but I dont think that this should be described as a duty of the human race to sort out. Instead I would say the motivation for environmentalism (a term I dont agree with as it implies a sense of separation between "us" and "nature") should be to lessen civilisations impact and reduce animal oppression which is created by the disruption of ecosystem by civilisation.

schwenny (June 19, 2010)

It's not the same as the bible because we're not talking about some right handed down by god, but by the realization that we are animal beings living on a physical planet, and that our own survival hinges on the planets health. It's called the survival instinct and in case you didn't know it's probably one of the last vestiges of instinctual thought that humans still experience.
