Description
If food had the capacity for thought, it would acknowledge its desire as the want to be eaten. Food is grown to be consumed. The most appealing food is the most produced and consumed. Trashy or unwanted food is cast out and thrown away. If food was conscious, it would not want to be excluded and rotten. Eatables would want to be "cherished" and valued via being ingested. If the subsistence was successfully devoured, its purpose would be fulfilled.
(The food cannot feel physical pain. Only emotional.)
No apologies are necessary.
Apologies for the forfeits
In the second Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy book they explored this concept. talking cows which try to pressure you into eating then
That, along with other reasons, made these dishes unseen in over 99.999% of diners and even outlawed in some countries. Oh.
What a mess at the dinner table
Jokes on you, some of us actually eat live beings(we probably shouldn't, lol), and let me tell you it was painful.
Sounds good to me.
The majority of my debate topics will most likely be shower thoughts
The thread had an interesting title.
