The human species is both a predator and prey. Secondly, it is one of the most social of animals. So, it is equipped with the instincts, tastes, nutritional requirements, pleasures, and pains to satisfy those roles. It’s complex and self contradictory because the evolution of the species which brought it to this point in its survival, doesn’t need to satisfy human rationality to be gene preserving. The contradiction of the human who will raise the young lamb or baby chick, feel the affection and cuteness, build a relationship over that time, take care of it well, and then harvest the animal for its meat to feed their own children or others, while shedding a tear at the loss in the moment, but in thankfulness consume it and make sure nothing goes to waste. It’s filled with uncomfortable cognitive dissonance. But a deviation from it results in a worse outcome. On one side Industrial food production causes mistreatment of animals, or on the other side Malnutrition of the human results from no meat/fat. And in either extreme, humans loosing their place and role as a species that is apart of the natural world, not distinct from it. You are correct, chasing urges can indeed go wrong, especially in an environment or position where there is no feedback from your actions. But the extreme alternative, which may result from a rational choice between the two human sides which by its nature is contradictory, is alienating yourself from what you are as a human. The complicating fact is that a human’s “wetware” does go wrong from time to time and they are monsters. So not all urges can be followed by all people. Enjoy your day!
