The idea is that c/food should be vegan and all the pot roasts (corpses), smoked meats (also corpses), and homemade pizzas (again, covered in corpses) could go in a newly-made comm, something like c/carnism or something. I dunno, we could even let the carnists pick their comm name, I don't care.
But basically, if Hexbear is going to be a vegan site, then pictures of corpses should not be in a comm called c/food, because corpses aren't food.
To a scavenger, corpses are food. Even though humans aren't obligate scavengers (or even obligate hunters), I don't know how to square that.
Isn't it more important how an animal lives, than what happens to the ex-animal once it's dead?
Think about this in a materialist sense. What happens if we continue to treat animal corpses as consumables and commodities? People will be incentivized to kill living animals so that they can aquire corpses to eat or sell. If we continue to treat nonhumans as resources, the ideologies of speciesism and carnism will never die.
Imagine it was okay to use human women's corpses however you wish. Don't you think that would fuel violence against women and bleed into their life as well? Knowing that as soon as we die, we will be someone's commodity? Wouldn't it cause people to treat women as disposable because they can get something out of it?
We don't need to eat non-human corpses. We don't need to eat granny. We don't need to commodify death nor create an incentive to cause death. We can eat beans, grains, pulses, fruit, vegetables, and fungi.
The idea is to denormalize thinking of animals as your food. They're dead bodies and you don't need to eat them.
There are also coprophiles, even human ones, and yet I'd get very little pushback if I said to not eat poop.
Normalizing the eating of corpses is an essential component of creating corpses to eat.
Ok, eat only roadkill. I don't care. Enjoy.
do you know anything about factory farms
That's exactly what I was talking about. Not subjecting animals to lives of torture is the most important thing in my mind. Second to this is making sure they live at least the typical length of life they would have in the wild.
Ok? And basically every corpse picture you see on c/food is the remains of a factory farmed animal? What's your point?
Statistically, that is likely true.

On the event of my death I would prefer for my body to be eaten by other organisms rather than cremated or embalmed. I don't see my physical body as something that I want to preserve for eternity. I've accepted that it's futile to try to live forever as my "individual" self.
That doesn't mean we should accelerate any process of carnivory. I think we have a duty to minimize the suffering of all sentient beings that we have power over. That really applies to their life, although I accept the argument multiple people ITT have made that especially in this society and probably in general, normalizing eating carcasses opens the door to the widespread objectification of sentient beings.
