    Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don’t have to go into certain details or say “Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!”

    There’s also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.

    But yeah, this is pretty silly “outrage”.

      The average persons outrage can fuck right off on this one.

      This is the reality of it, if this behavior upsets you go vegan. Because the only difference between the one he picked and the ones he didnt is probably a few extra days before they were processed NOT for a celebrity chef.

      When I eat meat I know where it comes from, I’m not going vegan but you DO NOT WASTE ANIMAL PROTEIN in my house, partly cause of this and partly because its expensive as fuck.

        To be fair, I don’t think the “average person” is to blame. Some people are just more sheltered or “eyes-closed” than others.

        Going vegan is definitely the way to, but meat is still highly subsidized because otherwise people couldn’t afford the meat they don’t need. So then you are vegan and help people to afford meat, which doesn’t seem right to me.

      I mean, best way to get parents/relatives to shut up about you having kids is to describe the process in detail to them.

        Just tell them you’re incapable of having children, add a few tears and they’ll never bring it up again.

        When/if you get some, tell them you lied, and just wanted them to shut the fuck up, because it wasn’t their business.

      Are you really comparing sex to torturing and murdering animals?

      Personally that’s not how I do it, but I understand the society that I live in.

        I’d like to think you were just going for a zinger and aren’t serious. But if you would like, I could explain what was going on in my previous comment.

    Even if you do choose to eat meat you don’t exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.

      Sounds like you’re cooking it wrong. It feels disrespectful, but a lot of the people criticizing this probably rub their hands together and say, “yummy!” when they pull a burger out of a bag without thinking of the calf/cow it once was.

        I’ve never cooked lamb, I only ate it as a kid. And the last time I spent My money on dead chordate, I was recovering from invasive surgery.

          Gotcha. I was vegetarian for many years, so I get it. Cooking chicken actually smelled like heated roadkill to me, I had to leave the room.

          I felt healthier without eating meat, actually. Now that I am back to eating meat, I respect where it comes from and intend to use every part of my harvests (having a dog helps too). I believe I owe it to the animal to acknowledge where what is on my plate comes from and to be as humane as possible.

            yeah, it’s cool how our brain can rationalize an evil act, like paying for innocent beings to be slaughtered for our pleasure, by “respecting their sacrifice”, and occasionally hunting something “humanely” and then pretending like we only ever eat meat that came from an animal that never suffered for our meals

      Lamb is only chewy if you overcook it. Which is easy as the cuts are usually pretty small.

    Is he the one who is slaughtering what he picks? Because making a show of it and having someone else kill it isn’t so much better than a bunch of tweens pouting on social media. The tweens can at least claim ignorance

    So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?

    Headlines often frame moments for shock, but context usually tells a much fuller story than a single clip or quote.

  • Funny how English has

    “Beef”, “Pork”, “Lamb”

    when in some languages its just

    [The Word for the Animal]+[The Word for “Meat”]

    Literally, your language influences how you think.

    My “native” languages are Cantonese and Mandarin and I always knew where the meat came from, like its literally in the word itself. [牛肉,豬肉,羊肉]
