Why do we seek become â€œsuccessfulâ€œ?

Why do we want â€œlessâ€œ?

For example, why are we so obsessed with spending less money on everything, and also, wanting the commodity prices of things like gas and food to be less?

For example, the allure of gas stations like Arco, promising the cheapest gas, or worse, waiting in line for an hour for Costco gas.

The â€œEthicsâ€ of Meat

Some more theories; I think the reason why people believe eating â€œtoo muchâ€ meat is a pseudo ethical one;

First, an economics issue. Traditionally in the past, it was very expensive, therefore, one would supplement their diet with mostly cheap grains rice etc.

The funny thing is in todayâ€™s world, meat is actually cheaper than vegetables, and adopting this nonsense â€œplant-basedâ€ diet is a trillion times more expensive!

For example, even with inflation, you can get ground beef for about 399 to about 499 a pound. Most people canâ€™t even eat that much meat, you should be able to totally satisfy and feed yourself for less than five dollars a day!

Secondly, I think modern-day consumerism behavior is towards animals, getting pets dogs cats etc.

Third, pseudo virtue singling thing. That irregardless of all this stuff, it is considered to be more pure and virtuous to abstain from meat? Even in the past, there were lots of cults which made it an edict forbidding eating meat. Even the Stoic philosopher Seneca experimented with abstaining from meat, but eventually gave up his vegetarian habits because others started to suspect him up being part of a cult.

The Plant-Based Conspiracy Theory

I have a theory; the reason why all of this trends towards a â€œplant based dietâ€ has to do with the fact of profits, the Kelloggs corporation, grains etc.

Also, people seem like they desire some sort of new religionâ€¦ they seek it in nonsensical notions of â€œanimal rightsâ€œ, and treating animals â€œhumanelyâ€. Donâ€™t they realize that the word humane comes from human? An animal is not a human.

In other words, real men eat meat! And no, chicken, turkey etc. is not meat!
