    Weirder? Sure.

    What gives you the idea that eating animal meat is unintentional?

    I can think of plenty of examples of one animal eating the meat of another, but only one example of a majority of a species drinking the breast milk of another species.

    So yeah, drinking milk seems weirder to me than eating meat.

        Because you alleged that meat is not something I was intended to eat, which doesn’t really track with the uncountable natural examples of predator and prey for all of knowable history.

          Things happening have nothing to do with intentions. Your implication of milk is not intended to be consumed by humans doesn’t track with the history either. We consume milk a fuck ton in various forms over hundreds of years.

            Of course it tracks - You think that breast milk produced by cows and goats for baby cows and goats specifically is intended for human consumption? No, of course not. That animal breast milk is intended for the young of that species.

            Humans may continue to suckle at the teats of other animals, and it may continue to be common, and it will be weird.

              That just brings back the question of how’s cow meat is intended to be eaten by you. That muscle is intended to let the cow walk and eat and reproduce. It is specifically evolved for those purposes.

                I don’t think I have the time or inclination to explain the entire history of predator and prey to you, but if you type in those two p-words, you’re going to learn a whole lot about a very long history of carnivores and omnivores eating meat.

                Carnivores are meat eaters and omnivores eat many things, btw.

                Humans as a predator, are biologically and historically intended to eat prey, the cow. Or pig, or whatever animal.

                Look it up, you can choose nearly any animal you are familiar with, and they will fit into the food chain somewhere as an iteration of predator or prey.

                You have a lot to learn, that’ll be fun for you!

                  You are just keep switching the subject of intention for your convenience. Milk is not intended to be… humans are intended to… If you only consider the intention of the consumer, of course it is always intended to consume whatever is nutritious. The logic flaw is in the case of milk you suddenly switch to consider the intention of the producer which is the cows. Are you doing this intentionally (pun intended) or is it a blind spot for you because you hate milk?

                    If you keep asking questions about different topics, you’re going to receive answers about different topics.

                    That doesn’t mean I’m being inconsistent, it means that I’m consistently answering your inconsistent questions.

                    Your newest topic is based on the false premise that I am considering the intention of cows, which I am not.

                    You’re making that up and then following up your false claim by asking me why I believe cows have intention because it’s an indefensible point.

                    You got confused four or five comments ago and you’re trying to use disingenuous, obscure questioning and false assertions in an attempt to ignore and draw attention away from the clear answers you’ve received that logically show you why meat is biologically and historically intended to be eaten by carnivores and omnivores.

                    It’s not working, but it is funny that you keep trying, so go wild.

      I dont know man. Ants are farming aphids for their sugary digestive secrets aka their shit. Bears eat Honey, which to all logic remains half digested bee-spit. Praying Mantis cut off the head off their mate after mating and eat it. Anglerfish males are not the mighty toothed beasts, but weird little parasites that nist themselves in the females and eat them from the inside until the female just lays its eggs before death.

      So humans drinking other animals milk is maybe unique, but certainly not more weird than other ways of procurung nutrition, that nature invented.
