Zack Mahiques - Tender Carnivore
Shepard talks about the changes that came when Agriculture replaced the hunting and gathering in societies. Ever since man has moved away from our hunter gatherer background, we have lost our touch with nature. Shepard says that when Agriculture replaced hunting and gathering, it allowed for stationary cities to be built, because the "tribes" were no longer required to migrate. With our new technological advancements in science, architecture, medicine, etc, our perception of nature has changed. Now our idea of nature is industrialized products and domesticated or artificially created livestock. Also, with the advancements in medicine and technology, weapons distructive to nature have been created, more deadly than ever. We have come so far from nature that now we are destroying it.
