Stupid as hell argument, but if it gets more conservatives onboard with reducing their animal product consumption I’m all for it

I don’t eat meat and think it’s profoundly unethical to do so, but this is just some weird appeal to nature fallacy clearly rooted in a romanticized agrarian ideal about subsistence agriculture.

Well for one there is a huge amount of increasing conservative opposition to factory farming in the MAHA movement.
[And its also just as ripe for misinformation MAHA nonsense. ](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oVT66nEnt4g)(Beige farmer to me seems to be a solid dude. He’s a chicken farmer very willing to call out both MAHA nonsense, green-washing of the worst factory practices or make fun of people’s unfounded squeamishness when it comes to whats done to make farming scalable.)

You are speaking as though the movement that currently calls itself “conservative” understands tradition at all, let alone cares about it.

People in the “there exist those whom the law protects but does not bind, and those whom the law binds but does not protect” headspace that is modern not-actually-conservative “Conservatism” presumably think the cruelest examples of factory farming are a beautiful example of Genesis 1:26 in action.

Right wingers support ‘traditional values’ because they are vehicle to support hierarchies where they are on the top. It’s not about any real belief in a way of life, just naked self interest.

Appeal to nature slop, but I did read that conservatives used to support this, in the sense that they’re conserving the environment or something

The idea that food production should have “soul” instead of being able to feed as many people for as cheap as possible is extremely funny to me.
Related, that’s also the argument cons use against lab meat (!!)
