Alas, the relationship between the husband and wife becomes more cherished. The husband will treat the wife with more respect and will not resort to beating her if an argument breaks out in fear of hurting the baby in her stomach (which will later be born and sold). The baby is then bred for a year and until the baby becomes plump and juicy; ready for consumption. The baby is then sold to the markets. This plan is wonderful! Why hadn't anyone thought of it sooner? Let's read on to more advantages.
Another advantage is, as Swift put it, "the poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own"( ). These statements suggest that the poorer tenants have nothing of value and that they would have to resort to selling their own flesh and blood in order to earn an income; they also do not take into consideration that the parents might want to have a family and children who will live with them past the age of one year. Swift's sanity also becomes questionable when he would make comments such as "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day." ( ) Is he actually serious about people executing this plan to reserve and produce income during these terrible times? He then goes on to talk about when the markets will have "Infant's flesh" saying that "a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us." ( ). Speaking of religion as a means to increase the wealth of a nation through cannibalism is so repulsive that it makes the reader interested in what Swift has to say. .
A decrease in the meat consumed by Ireland would lead to an advantage of "the addition of some thousand carcasses in our exportation of barreled beef"( ).
