I get Lady Gaga. She is an innovator and follows my own creed of “Only those who dare to be different ever make a difference.”

Hilariously she attended the MTV Awards dressed in what looked like slabs of meat strung together. Naturally, of course, this started all the screams and shouts and reaction. Interestingly, the reaction was mainly outrage from the weirdo organisations like ‘Peta’ and the vegan and vegetarian communities, and a need for cataloguing and categorising and meaning from the chattering classes.
Does there have to be ‘meaning’? Nope. The job of popular culture is to upset those who are actually no longer part of it, so good on Lady Gaga. She is now at the top of my list of people I currently really like.
Anyway, it got me thinking about all these weirdos who don’t eat meat and hate others who do. Why do these people treat ‘life’ differently?
Walk with me for a few moments on this one. My own personal philosophy is that all life is the same, and so should be treated the same. Let me expand:
It seems very odd to me to adamantly decide to treat an animal differently to, say, a plant. Both are life, but one looks less like human-beings, and so these nutters treat the ones that look less like them with indifference, whilst almost worshipping life that does. Mad or what?
For me to be true to myself and to have a simple yet single philosophical approach to life around me, I have to feel the same about everything, not pick and chose or give levels of importance to one species over another. It’s also important to see and appreciate the huge interconnect. Everything is part of everything.
The veggie nutters don’t agree with the idea of treating all life with equal reverence. They will happily chomp away on a carrot whilst weeping huge tears about a lamb being chomped on by others. I cannot grade life in this way, it seems wrong. What right have I to anyway?
To me, eating a chicken is no different to eating a potato. Indeed, most vegetation is still ‘alive’ whilst it is being consumed, so I’m not too sure how ‘humane’ such consumption really is. Yet, because vegetation doesn’t have a face, those who discriminate against such species won’t care or worry about consuming species without a face. Bizarre.
My approach, and I assume the approach of the ‘normals’ out there is to see everything around me as equal. Hence I will enjoy eating meat as much as I enjoy eating fruit or vegetables. I will also want to ‘protect’ animals and plants when necessary. I respect both. I am at one with it all. I am part of the whole.
At the top of the ‘sizeist’ food chain, to complete the circle of life, my biggest predator as a human (apart from other humans) is the tiny microbe that wants to consume me at an almost cellular level. Like a gazelle running from a hungry lion, I will try to do my best to outrun this predator using drugs or health and fitness. In other words, I am no different to any other prey. When I grow weak, they will consume me. So be it. That is their right. That is the circle of life.
So, being part of the system and being at one with the system, there really is no need to treat different species of life differently dependant on their outward appearance. A tree is as important as a horse, they are just different, that’s all.
We need to protect humanity from the mentally disturbed humans that feel they need to prey on other humans because they dare consume one type of species and not another type of species. These humans are dangerous. These humans prey on other humans, trying to consume their minds. We have to stop them.



Was it ever established whether it was real meat?
