# Debate 2
## Eric's Prop With Common Definitions
>A diet of ruminant meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, olives, avocado, lettuces, skinless and seedless cucumbers, and various squashes is higher in rank, status, or quality in an essential or natural way to a diet that focuses on plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts and limits or avoids animal products.
What does it mean for one diet to simply have a higher risk, status, or quality, compared to another? With respect to what standard?

# Debate 1
## Eric's Justifications for Eating Meat
1) we're all OK with eating animals
2) we have dominion over animals
3) we take care of animals before slaughter
4) animals are not homo sapiens
5) animals were not born of a human
6) animals do not have human cognition
7) animals are ancestral food
8) animals are perfect food
## Eric's Revised Justifications
"Animals are OK to kill and eat because..."
1) "All things will die and become food for other living things."
- Empirical claim. Requires proof.
- Cremation and body donation to medical research both disprove this.
- Why couldn't this same argument be used to justify killing and eating humans?
2) "Every species has a specific diet."
- Definition of "specific diet" required.
- Empirical claim. Requires proof.
- Humans are a part of many animals' [natural diet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-eater).
3) "Meat is the perfect food for humans."
- Definition of "perfect" required.
- Empirical claim. Requires evidence.
- Depending on the definition provided, humans may be the perfect food for some organisms. So would it not be justified to feed humans to these organisms?
4) "I would feel privileged to know my body will become future food when I die."
- Good for you? Hypothetically, if a race of organisms felt privileged to know their bodies would become future food when they die, would that make it OK for them to farm, kill, and eat you?
- If you take point one to be true, why would you phrase this point hypothetically?
5) "Animals living on regenerative AG farms live a privileged life."
- There are humans who live privileged lives. Is it OK to farm, kill, and eat humans?

Couldn't finish the syllogism because it was question begging. Eric clarified that "fostered the evolution of homo sapiens" and " intrinsically superior" were the same thing.
