      Anyway The inventor of Kellogg's Corn Flakes literally says that if you enjoy being horny and having orgasms you should avoid eating cornflakes and instead have bacon and eggs for breakfast

      To be fair to him, though, he didn't invent that idea, just the uniquely American scientific approach to it This is the actual reason Catholics give up meat for Lent -- it has nothing to do with being kind to animals, which is why you're allowed to eat fish and stuff

      The prohibition on (mammal) meat originated because that was "rich" food that made you horny and gave you impure thoughts And the point of the Lenten fast was to clear your head of horny thoughts and be spiritual

      Hence the somewhat arbitrary list of Catholic dispensations of things you are and aren't allowed to eat during Lent has nothing to do with what modern vegans are concerned with, how cruel it is or how conscious the animal is or whatever It's just whether it feels like horny food

      They just rules lawyer newly discovered foods as being sufficiently "fishlike" as opposed to "meatlike" so as not to arouse the sensual passions Hence beaver tails are an approved Lenten food and a kind of "fish" (but not the rest of the beaver) Same with capybara

      Wasn't this also a product of colonialism adapting the rules to bring natives' staples on board?

      Yeah the capybara thing especially does not actually make logical sense to me -- capybaras and their meat are not at all similar to fish That one feels a lot like people just lying to the authorities back home and getting away with it

      Telling them that capybaras are, technically, an "aquatic" animal (in that they live on land but frequently enjoy swimming)

      Over the many generations of this tradition it really hasn't been treated logically, it's been blatantly political The Church famously threatened to switch Lent from a ban on meat to meat, milk and eggs on any country that didn't supply troops for the First Crusade

      Lol It doesn't do much for the vegan cause to point out that in medieval Europe "Either you go to war or you go VEGAN" was an effective threat
