i think if you eat meat, you should at least think about what it means for animals to die for that and come to terms with it. i dont think its healthy, mentally, to only see these canned and plastic wrapped containers of meat removed from their context of once having been a living thing

I also think this helps with the opposite side of the unhealthy point of view, that being the violent disgust and shock at the concept of eating an animal.

^ That is exactly why I started eating meat again. There were other factors (money, health, treatment from vegetarians and vegans) but the main thing was just education.

i learned that the Twilight Zone was created after Rod Serling’s teleplay inspired by Emmett Till’s murder was heavily censored by networks and advertisers. The censorship led Serling to rethink his approach and delve into the era’s social issues through a filter of science fiction and fantasy (x)

“The writer’s role is to be a menacer of the public’s conscience,” Serling later said. “He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus the issues of his time.”
