I put "superior" in quotes because I'm not defining it. People use different qualifiers but it's basically whatever argument is used to suggest that we have some reason to be separated out from animals to be "better behaved" than them. Like I said above, I don't think torturing animals for fun is good. But when people tell me I shouldn't eat meat because humans are more evolved or "superior" or whatever, that's bullshit to me.

I quoted an article above that does say that eating meat did indeed give us bigger brains because then we didn't have to waste so much energy on having a huge gut. You can take it up with them if that's not something you agree with.

I'm not "proud" of not caring. I'm just sick of people yelling at me for liking meat and telling me I'm a terrible person because humans should be better than meat-eaters. Yes, I do wish there was a nicer way to treat animals than factory farming. But if it's factory farming or not having meat (which is the zero-sum game a lot of militant vegetarians play) then I'd rather have factory farming. If someone can come up with an economically sound way to raise livestock, then I'm all on board. I'm not in love with factory farming. But I'm not going to shun meat because the conditions are inhumane. You might be able to afford fancy meat but not everyone can.
