In the debate meat yes meat no vegs are a minority but on books it's another story, they win hands down. It makes sense to talk about ideologically again carnivores and vegetarians? Maybe yes, if the controversy between positions is stirred up by the New York Times. The provocation of the American newspaper would like to touch the naked nerve of a ' absence of pro-carnivorous thesis. Solution? Find ethical arguments in favor of eating meat, says the prestigious newspaper quoted by Corriere Lettura, and sent 600-word contributions to our jury of animal rights intellectuals. The best will be published.
Now, let's put aside the choice of the jury composed only of animal rights activists and let's ask ourselves a very simple thing: should the crude and material carnivores produce a doctrine to survive? Leverage the latest pediatrician who recommends liver for the little ones or the Dukanista who sponsors meat to lose weight? Or about some dissident intellectual who sharpens the blades of provocation and throws himself headlong into the question?
The carnivorous position has no cultural and political force because in terms of doctrine it is a non-position. It is a custom. It is the status quo. It's wrong? Likely, but traditions don't always exist to be ridiculed. Yes, he discussed it, and it is sacrosanct, but having to deal with an opposition that accuses me with severity while I taste the cod alla vicentina is the sign of the times.
On the other hand, for carnivores, vegetarians exist and have their reasons, while vegans, raw foodists and fruitarians (yes they exist and they are those who await the natural fall of the fruits, while we ruin the world by ordering hamburgers with the iPad) they are a bit like those conspiracy theorists who must be listened to with the left ear, while the other whistles echoes of fanaticism. Their display of personal rigor and control bores us. Their ethical relativism frightens us. Not wrongly, especially when they compare the deaths of the Twin Towers with the chickens slaughtered in the farm.
Having abandoned the strictly healthy option, vegetarian fundamentalism falls into the propagandism of slogans and kills the interest of the counterpart. What perplime is the indoctrinating verb. The attack on the meat consumer. The pointing finger. Especially in the dark years, where the fingers should be pointed in other directions.
We live together peacefully. Don't call me brute while I'm biting into a meatball, don't ask me to write six hundred words to justify myself. Nobody asks you to justify yourself because you buy the shirt for ten euros, stained with Chinese blood, from the big chain under the house.

When the ethical code of food bloggers even we like it
It is not enough to have trimmed the objections of the journalists who criticized the lack of rigor in verifying the sources. Today blogs, indeed: foodblogs, want to have their own Code of Ethics.

Sometimes carnivores are more ethical than vegetarians
