But it's NOT an advantage, you're just straw-grasping for anything that makes your argument look validated. You may as well argue that, since potatoes can be poisonous if left to sit too long, it's advantageous to only eat meat. Priority 4

[edit]Eating animals having more legs is thought to be worse.
This isn't very clear. More legs than what and worse than what? 57.135.233.22 (talk) 00:34, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- It is explained by "eating mammals is worse than eating chickens or fish". WilbaAtWikipedia (talk) 10:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
"they pace Montaigne"?
[edit]What does that mean? Is it a typo? I can't make any sense of it... WilbaAtWikipedia (talk) 09:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Makes no sense at all. The quote is taken from an obscure paper by Justin Leiber in 1988 [1]. I doubt the user that originally added this paper read the paper, they may have copied it from Daniel Dennett who probably got the quote wrong [2]. If you search online for this quote, the only hits you get are from Daniel Dennett who has put the quote in many of his publications. It is a cherry-picked quote missing various bits of text. I would be interested in knowing what Leiber really said. Unfortunately I don't have access to his 1988 paper. It's might be worth asking someone that has access to it so we can fact check the source. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- The same quote has also been copied to the animal consciousness article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
