Comment on Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste?

  That’s cruel and requires violence. There are situations that justify cruelty and violence, but given that there is no food scarcity, it is not justified now.

    Feeding chickens and eating eggs is cruel and violent?

    I’d love to hear your misguided reasoning.

      Individuals must be treated as ends, never as means.

        I have cats. Aside from rodent control, they don’t serve any purpose other than being part of the family. If my cats somehow had the ability to lay eggs, and since they are all fixed these are unfertilized eggs with no possibility of bearing offspring. Would it be wrong if me to make an omelette from them?

        I might have made it more weird by using my cats.

        But if you had a few chickens and provided them food and shelter and took good care of them, like you would any pet, why not use their eggs? They’re going to lay them either way. Is it more moral to throw them away?

      not op, but I assume they are vegan. many vegans have the misconception any product from a animal is violence against them. as they cannot consent…

      but the truth is, no vegans live on farms… they don’t understand chickens lay unfirtalized eggs regardless.

      they also see the breeding programs of chickens as violent as it’s for producing meat/eggs. so by raising chickens you are perpetuating it… but that’s stupid. that’s like seeing a hurt dog by the side of the road and saying “if we help that one we have to help all of them”. baby chicks are often given away not sold…

        Just to add, a lot of vegans (not all) ride their high-horse on their moral high-ground and judge, if not outright insult/shame non-vegans for their choice to not be vegan. A lot like how many religions shame each other for not believing the ‘right’ thing.

        ‘A few bad apples spoil the bunch,’ as they say. The most vocal also make the group as a whole, difficult to tolerate.

  There are food safety considerations, but feeding pigs with waste food is a practice. Like food that stores throw out shortly after their expiration.
