Whole lot of hyperbole in that title 😂

Extreme exaggeration or overstatement

How so?

"Taste for flesh" is painting us all as either zombies or cannibals. It's ugly language that attempts to shame people for being normal. "Exhausted the Earth" is a gross exaggeration because the Earth isn't exhausted. If the Earth was exhausted, humankind wouldn't be around anymore. We're still on Earth and still living on and from it, as evidenced by the fact that we're here making comments on a post.

I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable, but it's hell on Earth for livestock. I too, was raised an omnivore, just like I was raised to believe mutilation of genitals of our (American) baby boys was a normal, healthy thing to do. Imagine these practices never existed, then somebody out of the blue tells you they plan to try either one of them.. Society's wild.
