I recently watched a debate with Dave Ausprey [1] where he said something like "we're animals so we need to eat animals". I wonder what he thinks cows eat.

Edit: So I'm curious why I'd be downvoted for this. This guy is truly hand-wavy crazy.

Cows eat whatever they can find that looks like food to them, including chicks[0].

So you have one instance of a cow eating a chick. That's hardly enough evidence to claim that cows eat "whatever they can find", especially without considering the cow's environmental circumstances. How many cows living in their natural environment would eat another animal? I'm open to being shown otherwise, but this is just silly at this point.

Personal attacks are often downvoted.

Yeah, I get that. But I think there's a subtle line between calling out his incredibly unsound and strange beliefs and meaning it as a personal attack.

In my opinion he opened himself up to that sort of attack when he decided to turn his persona into a brand.
