Baby squid looks quite delish.

I’ve always wondered about the guilt for baby squid or baby pigs, cows (lechon de leche, veal) or whatever other animal. We also pick some vegetables/herbs when they are young but we don’t see the guilt from doing so. Because of our “programmed belief” that these living things lack the “level of consciousness” attributable to a “higher” life form?
Where to draw the line? How about young fingerlings? Caviar? Balut?

Not passing judgement mind you. Just wondering out loud.
Scientists can look out on a beach littered with baby turtles that have just hatched from their shells and do nothing as the various predatory birds have a feast of easy pickings. They realize that this is just the natural cycle of living; you live in this world, you consume.
Most non-scientists however would want to save every last one of the baby turtles and, if they had their way, could probably upset some ecological balance between predators and their prey.

However, I am more interested in the “atay”-themed discussions. I must say, I love how the liver covers the two faces of love: the giddiness and the bitterness.

Never imagined that’s where “gi-atay” comes from :P

Aha! Isn’t it revealing that the adjective is commonly used to describe wretched love, as in “gugmang gi-atay”? (The expression predates the popular song.) I’m no etymologist, but I suspect the word took off from there to describe anything wretched, damned, or cursed.
