I found the cognitive dissonance around animals to be the largest, which is why I felt more strongly about that.
If we were to extend, I'd want to extend beyond food to all relations.
Water is life, and nature can clean water only at a certain rate. The idea that humans should dirty water at such a higher rate that few humans think of water in nature as "drinkable" is so problemmatic.
The costs of cleanup should be embeded within the price that must be paid by industry, but antique foreign (to this continent) economic models externalize nearly all costs. These theories only consider humans and human activity as having intrinsic value (labour theory of value, blah, blah, blah).
This was incredible, and I've long advocated to friends for a meat license, and I've had some new acquaintances tell me they've also thought about this, so I think it's a meme that could really catch on. But I want to thank you for opening up so much and saying so many personal things about something that, as you said, shouldn't be "personal." In particular, I really liked your phrasing: "I really wish we were able to talk about the past, and have fond memories, without all this projection of how other people feel onto me." Thank you.
I love the meat license idea, but I'd also extend that to a lot of food. Kind of like a social contract.
