That is quite true. By any objective standards, the difference
between a cow and a human being is miniscule. Eat a barbecued
'hamburger' at a restaurant and if it was made from your mother's
flesh you wouldn't be able to tell.

A big part of the Western meateater's diet is a ritual of domination
where they demonstrate to themselves and others that they are at
the Top of the Food Chain, the Victor in the Struggle to Rule
the World. The Rulers of Nature.

Then a nice hurricane or earthquake or tornado or flood comes
along and shows them to be the deluded fools they are.

Yep, the fearsome American warrior can be seen stalking the
deadly steak in the local supermarket on Saturday morning,
and after an incredible struggle with the deadly creature
he brings it home and he and his friends gather around
the barbecue and stuff their piggy faces and pretend that
this proves they are the King of the Jungle.
