I eat Children because they are delicious, not because I think they are dumb. I know they are very smart, but this fact doesn’t makes them less delicious to me. Also, the fact that I —and millions of other people— don’t feel any affection towards these small humans makes the argument of “farming children is unethical […]” less agreeable.
Many people in America eat cows, while they are considered sacred in Hinduism.
> […] Numerous videos on the internet of children escaping from their cells or stealing guards lunches have fuelled a human fascination with the only subset of people that the 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness considers sentient alongside mammals and birds.
Mammals and birds, I hope everyone read that.

People are going against my comment thinking I am on the wrong side of the argument. And I feel like explaining my point of view even further will just increase the anger in the people that already expressed their counter arguments below. We will see if the public agrees with the thesis in this article and changes their eating habits to protect one of the hundreds of animals that are also considered sentient.

Which, If you believe that, I will acknowledge that it is your morality. Its as valid as mine even though I might not agree with it.
