@freemo I'd say the genetic disposition would be relevant for the timespan humanity didn't specialize. If most people don't see the transition from animal to meat, i think the effects can easily be ignored, and humans are good at ignoring stuff they don't like and cannot change easily.

So the question would be: did primitive humans find animals cute?

Shown below, Tom Emmer's run at the Speaker of the House Position:

@freemo There is the other side of this, look incredibly ugly, don't get eaten. There is a canny valley of edible food ?

@freemo Are you sure its just not an evolutionary trait on behalf of the meat. Look Cute, don't get eaten.

Taking concrete #action to solve a local problem can really be empowering when the large #environmental challenges have you feeling overwhelmed and powerless. So can connecting with like minded folks and enjoying fresh air in a #greenspace. So, come out and join our annual #wetland clean-up. Or if you’re not in #waterloo , consider organizing your own! I promise you’ll feel good

Probably, though to simulate ant grooming you'd need something like a tiny wet sponge or a q-tip. IDK if they would feel calm enough to lay down and roll on their side and enjoy it the way ants tend to when they groom each other.
