This isn't a personal thing, I'm down for killing everyone no matter how great they are. This is a theory of slave morality. The way you can look at what you eat is spoken in a very Kant-esque perspective of A Modest Proposal. You can logically prove that it is fine to eat children, but as said paper proves it just is not right. Removing that bullshit reductio ad absurdum that Kant brings us will however condone the consumption of our children (as long as it is practical). I was just doing a UNM study where it measures the various levels of disgust and this is a good manifestation of that: if you can find the practical benefits of eating children, then do it. We do not really eat monkeys though. They are sentient but we do not as a mass population consider them to be so but we do not eat monkeys too often

You should just enslave children who are 5 and under.

They can be like pets. You sell your kids to pet stores. You can have one store called 'Picaninny Pals' and you can advertise it with blackface cartoons.
