Animal or non-animal based diet?

[Louisabell]

BTW, the whole survival of a mammalian species is based on attachment because the young need to stay close to the adults for safety, warmth, nourishment and learning.

We share the same attachment hormones to all mammalian species, that's why when you cuddle a dog, oxytocin gets released in both the human's and dog's brains.

You can make abstractions all you want, but a mother cow will still scream for days when her calf is snatched from her.

The reason we farm and eat mostly mammals is because they are easy to tame. We use these attachment hormones against them, when they bond to humans they don't attack us, then the humans (us) betray them. Humans are the only species which can betray, because we have the ability to make justifications for our actions.

Couldn't imagine an alligator farm would be very easy to manage.

Plants do not have pain receptors or attachment hormones. Many plants we eat are annuals (i.e their life cycle is a year/season before they release seeds and die) and some plants exist in massive networks (i.e bananas aren't grown from seeds but cuttings, therefore all bananas come from the same mother plant). Also plants have a symbiotic relationship with animals, relying on certain parts of the plant to be eaten for their seeds to be spread.
