Abstract
In the last twenty-five years, the Muslim population of Canada has tripled. The value of the Canadian halal food market is now estimated to exceed one billion dollars. In 2021, eight in ten Indian adults reported that they restrict their meat eating in some way for a cultural reason. The same year, 34% of Americans surveyed—Jewish and non-Jewish—said they bought kosher meat out of a concern for food safety. At first glance, the world’s meat market is far from religious. But upon closer inspection, one can see that the history of meat eating is not only about survival but also about cultural bonds, personal health, and the theological clash between good and evil. The variances in meat consumption between the Islamic, Jewish, and Hindu faiths distinctly display these themes. These behaviors surrounding meat eating demonstrate, on a small scale, what it is to be a human being in a society, and how our everyday actions indicate our deeper desire to do “right.” Panel info: High Stakes: Faith, Control and Consumption Moderator: Professor Natan Meir

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
