Fruits, vegetables, etc. are all rotting too.
Not if you bite directly from a planted plant!
Ohhh. So bite the pigs when they’re still alive!
I eat my veggies directly off the vine, so there.
Carrots and potatoes are more difficult.
I finally managed to track down the source of this quote. It’s a review she wrote in The Huffington Post talking about how she became vegan (previously vegetarian) after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Eating Animals. That was in 2010, and Portman is still vegan.
Great find!
rotting corpse.
Have you never heard of a freezer?
Weird to call out Natalie Portman specifically for this.
I agree with the sentiment but I have a small metaphorical bone to pick which is that nothing is any more or less evolved than anything else. This phrasing helps perpetuate a misunderstanding of evolution, which is surprising because NP is quite well educated.
It’s very obvious that she’s using one of the multiple meanings of “evolution” outside of biological evolution. I don’t get where you’re coming from here; Portman does know what biological evolution is.
Outside of biological evolution it is still somewhat of a misnomer to say that something is more or less evolved than something else. Again - I get what she is saying and I agree, but when I hear someone say ‘less evolved’ it comes across as a sort of sloppy way of describing something.

I think you missed the point.
Nah, I’m eating tens of thousands of years of culinary traditions aided by modern understanding of biology and medicine.
