Repeat after me,

“I am stronger than bacon.”

If I know eating meat is bad but I still do it, am I a bad person.

Do you think lab grown meat is disgusting, why or why not.

                To respond to the lovely Vlogbrother, Hank Green, I do not think I am stronger than bacon—it’s greasy film and crunchy texture are kryptonite on my tongue. The next logical conclusion would be to say that I am not superman so having kryptonite on my tongue would be a bother at all.  Okay, so maybe I could stop eating bacon if I really wanted to, truth is I do not really eat bacon that often, but I’m not sure if I want to stop eating it definitively.

                I have a feeling that in Hank’s not-rhetorical question he is not searching for nerdfighteria to make him feel better about eating meat and reassure him that, ‘yes, yes you are a good person, Hank.” Instead his intent seems to be to foster nerdfighteria to ponder good and bad, and what makes someone either good or bad. So that is what I am doing.

                Although few things in the world are as black and white, completely distinguishable from one another, for the sake of my ponderings I am going to say that good and bad are completely separated—though we all know that isn’t true. I think there are good people, like those who promote world awesome, and there are bad people, all the Warner Chilcots of the world (rapists and etc.) who promote world suck. Interestingly enough, Warner Chilcots can do good things that promote awesome like not killing innocent kittens, but that doesn’t make them completely good. Similarly, good people can do sucky things like getting mad at our brother and yelling at them. Being angry and yelling at people is wrong, we know this, yet the majority of the world does it anyway. However, I don’t think the act of good a Warner Chilcot does makes Warner Chilcot good and neither do I think yelling in anger at someone makes awesome people suck. It just means that an individual (or group) did something bad or good.

                Though I do think our actions do create us. If someone does mostly bad things, I think it would be safe to say they are a bad person. However, there is the situation were someone does a lot of bad when they really are trying to do good. I would argue that that person is really a good person in general that is just having problems doing the right thing.

                Hmm, so no, I don’t think eating meat even though you know is bad is a bad thing.

                I don’t find the idea of lab chops disgusting. If it was just like normal meat, why not? However I am concerned by the fact that man normally messes up everything and creates everyday items that cause horrible cancer. I worry that there would be a health issue connected to lab meat. I also worry that animals species would die off and that humans would no longer know how to raise animal, which would be a huge problem if our civilization ever stopped functioning.  I love that by using lab meat, animals would no longer be tortured to feed us all. I have no problem eating meat, but it is sad how those animals are treated post birth, they really don’t deserve to be treated that way.
