I want to talk about something that is almost never talked about
on your corporate media channels.
Even though it's the number one cause of human-made climate change.
It's a top cause of illness and sickness
and torture and environmental destruction in this country.
But first,
let's go through a brief history of the world, alright?
Animal evolved into man.
Man then realized he could eat animal, alright?
Man caught and cooked animal.
Man began housing animal before eating it,
so that he could have dinner just waiting around
whenever he wanted it.
That was 'fast food' before cars existed, alright?
Man then realized he liked the way animal tasted.
All kinds of ways:
lightly fried, sprinkled on top of salads and pasta,
soups and chocolate, anything really.
In order to keep up with demand,
man began housing animal in smaller and smaller cages,
until man had millions of animals
on top of each other for their entire lives,
in the most disgusting, immoral, puketastic manner.
And then man called anyone who pointed out how awful this is
"a pussy".
This, this was insulting to all animals and all women,
and therefore only made man look like a goddamn idiot.
And that was the point we realized
evolution doesn't always go in a direct line...
sometimes it kind of swivels around
and you end up in 'what the fuck land'.
In the past when I've talked about factory farming I've said:
Let's ignore for a moment how awful it is for the animal
and instead talk about how it's actually the number one cause
of man-made climate change
over 190 billion gallons of water, daily,
are used for animal agriculture.
Yes, that's daily.
It takes up 55% of our fresh water,
compared to only 5% used in households across America.
Ocean dead zones, fishery depletion, species extinction, deforestation,
world hunger, food safety, heart disease, obesity, diabetes.
There's one issue at the heart of all these problems:
Our demand for and reliance on animal products.
And it creates lagoons of shit.
Filled with millions of tons of feces.
That in North Carolina, the congress made sure you
could legally spray it into the air,
coating nearby town's people.
That's what I've said in the past.
This time I'm saying:
Let's not ignore how awful it is for the animals
because yes, cows are people too, alight?
Let's start with hens, where most of our eggs come from.
Nearly 280 million laying hens in the United States
are confined in barren wire battery cages
so restrictive, the birds can't even spread their wings.
These hens have less than the surface of an iPad
to live on, their entire lives.
I'm not going to show you the video because it's rated 'R'
and I don't wanna scare the kids, alright?
But next time you're looking for like a good horror movie,
like something to really make you piss your pants, you know,
just grab your popcorn, put your arm around your lover,
and watch some undercover videos of factory farming,
just for hours.
So once video of this mass animal torture
started getting out on YouTube,
Americans had an odd reaction:
they stopped wanting to eat
the gross brown flesh coming out of little piggy Guantanamo base.
Then factory farm corporations did the right thing.
They tried to make filming factory farms a crime.
Because that makes it all better, right?
Kind of like murder is totes rad
if you just don't take a selfie next to the body.
Don't throw it up on Instagram - you're fine, you know.
Because in the free market
if sales start declining for your product,
make it illegal for people to learn the truth about your product.
That's the free market, right?
But it didn't work, because videos were still leaking out.
So now we're onto the next step.
In some states, lobbyists for the poultry industry
are pushing laws that would force stores to carry their products.
This law is designed to force stores to sell eggs
that their customers find morally repulsive.
That would be like a store owner going:
'Yeah, I'm not selling the supersonic, earthquake-level,
vibrating-triple-dong at my adult toy store anymore.
Because people were getting injured and breaking hips,
and it was just carnage everywhere.
And then the state coming in and going:
'Sorry. We had a talk with the Earthquake-triple-dong lobbyists,
and they're very powerful
so we're going to make it illegal for you
not to sell it at your store.
And by the way, our mainstream media won't mention
the gruesome way our meat and eggs are produced.
But! They'll show ads, endlessly,
telling you how "Awesome meat is!"
Or: "Try our fluffy eggwich with bacon milkshake next to it.
Just all kinds of crap. There's just ads constantly.
But those ads don't mention the World Health Organization says
processed meats can cause cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease...
Eating torture-farmed meat doesn't even make logical sense
to most people who do it.
Like if you show someone a bird trapped in oil spill,
most people wanna save it, alright?
We wanna help it. We wanna break out the dawn soap
and shine that mallard's forehead
until you can see your reflection in it, right?
But for some reason,
if that were a tanker ship full of barbecue sauce
that tipped over, then we'd be fine with it.
'Alright! Delicious disaster, let's go!'
There's no logic to our behavior.
We have laws against animal abuse.
As long as it's one of the animals
we've been socially programmed to protect, you know?
If we see someone smack a Labrador in public,
we'll fucking dive in front of it, like we're a secret service agent,
trying to stop a bullet, 'Nooo! What did that dog ever do to youuu?'
But you replace that dog with a pig or a duck or a lamb,
we're like: 'Grill it up, alright!
What kind of sauce you got for that?'
It's true, there's no logic.
If we didn't have aggressive social programming,
this would seem crazy, bizarre!
Like Groundhog's day or circumcision or whatever.
You gotta have that weird stuff pounded into your head
at an early age.
Like to people who just got here who just showed up in our culture,
they don't buy this. They don't...
Like let's see, who just got here?
Toddlers! Toddlers just showed up to the world.
Let's see what they think.
-Why can't we eat them, Beans? <font color=#FFEE8C>-Because that hurts them.</font>
<font color=#FFEE8C>I think that they don't really like being cooked in the oven.</font>
I don't want to argue with you.
<font color=#FFEE8C>Would you like if someone ate you?</font>
I... no, I wouldn't.
<font color=#FFEE8C>Well then why should I eat this poor harmless animal?</font>
We didn't kill this animal.
It's good for your body.
Jesus created animals for us to eat.
Alana? Mommy is not..
<font color=#FFEE8C>Santa's lucky cuz he only eats cookies.</font>
I mean...
She's got a point.
She's got a point.
Not that Santa's got a great physique, but still.
But the parents blame it on Jesus.
I don't think Jesus said shit
about the Baconator sandwich that I recall.
The truth is we will look back on corporate torture-farming,
years from now,
as nearly as horrific as slavery or child brides
or the sitcom ALF.
You know, we'll be like:
'What in the actual fuck were we thinking?'
By the way, ALF was considered goddamn nuts
because he was always trying to eat cats.
That was part of the thing. But what's the difference?
Why is only eating cats weird?
Granted, there was a time when we honestly needed
to eat the meat that was around or we would die.
During horrible blizzards in the sixteen hundreds
many a horse learned the hard way
that we would eat whatever we had to.
But these days are different. We have food, it's everywhere.
We have year-round ripe mangoes.
It doesn't even make sense, alright?
It's there but...
There's no need to keep 280,000,000 hens
and 68,000,000 pigs
in a fucking Saw movie their whole lives.
Most people knew deep down
that slavery was wrong when it was happening.
But they were fed hundreds of different reasons to keep it going.
They were told all kinds of crap science and crap history,
distorted bible verses.
Now imagine if on top of that in the eighteen hundreds
there had been television commercials
constantly advertising how 'great' slavery is
and how it's 'normal' and 'wonderful' and 'delicious',
and you can just
'sprinkle slavery on top of your chocolate'
and 'it's so good!'.
Wouldn't it have lasted an extra 30 or 50 years? Maybe...
Our meat consumption will kill our planet,
kill our future, possibly kill your family,
and some might say it's probably not so good for your being,
your energy, your life force, to fill your body
with the tortured corpses of other non-human sentient beings.
I mean, I don't believe any of that hippie shit, still but...
If it works for you, great, keep doing it but
look,
you don't have to quit meat, alright? I know it's hard, I know it's hard.
Just decrease the amount you eat.
A little each month until it's zero.
Just do that.
Or
or
or you can do what I do.
I only meat that's hard to get.
Endangered species, that's it.
Platypus, pygmy hippos and baby echidnas. Alright?
There he is...
That's a baby echidna.
That's my chef actually preparing him for dinner.
This is a live feed. He's gonna be dinner tonight.
They're gonna make a tacco or something, I think.
But...
but I only eat free range baby echidna, alright?
I'm not a supervillan!
Coming to you from Washington D.C., the belly of the beast
is Redacted Tonight.
