Edible history of humanity
Yesterday I went to the nearby woods with my dog. It's the moose hunting season, and the hunters and their dogs were also there. It's interesting how a person can transform with age from someone completely anti- to a completely pro-. That's what happened with me and hunting. I felt a wish to shout to the hunters "good luck" but bit my tongue. Perhaps it brings unluck to be wishing luck, like it does in fishing.

As I wrote in the 10 things that will really NOT happen in the future., people will always eat meat because it just tastes so good. I haven't changed my mind in thinking that for a man to be causing suffering to an animal is wrong. It's the way that we are causing suffering that has led to chaning my opinion. I think that a hunter shooting a moose, deer or a rabbit is not causing unnecessary suffering to the animal. This is the natural way for a carnivour to get food. What is causing suffering is the breeding and mass production of meat in "meat and poultry factories" that we, the almighty humans, have established.

There's a book that I've wanted to read for some time, the Edible History of Humanity, where Tom Standange is writing that the collectors and hunters lived in many ways a better life than the farmers did. As this review puts it, Standage presents evidence that farming ruined human happiness, and plausibly traces the origins of social stratification, the West Indian slave trade and the bubonic plague to "advances" in food production. Perhaps it is good, then, that he also plots a second, implicit history of humans using science to liberate themselves from the toil of scraping food from the land - the truest material sign of our modern world.

The case got a lot of publicity, and it's even been to the parliament. The minister of culture and sports is saying that Bookabooka's activity per se is very good, but they need to share revenue with the authors. This is now happening, and the renting service will probably continue after all the legal stuff has been cleared.it really very interesting.
