Hehe, we like meat so much that we’re going to ignore the fact that it destroys the environment and continue farming and eating it like there is still a billion of us on this planet. Also, the prices must be low but i don’t care that living beings are raised in hellish conditions for our convenience. We made it illegal to record those conditions so we don’t have to look at them. Meat delicious, I deserve it three meals a day because look at my prosperity.

Yeah. It's the usual nonsense habits of people that they will defend to their dying breath

Why does that cow have 3 legs?

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 52 points 1 year ago

They've already started eating her 😞

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 25 points 1 year ago

They couldn't find a real cow out on a pasture, so they had to AI generate it.

That's a dairy cow; you can eat that one without killing it.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.

But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.

[-] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats 🥰

[-] deus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.

the meat industry put out decades of propaganda during the great depression & world wars to convince the western world to buy meat & dairy. truth is, humans have lived off plant based diets for millennia. ending factory farming is one of the easiest ways to combat climate change & corporations

Oh boy, another dogshit kill animals hehe meme. Very funny maymay community. Psuedoprogressive animal abusers the lot of ya. There is not enough resources on Earth to quench your never ending demand for bodies. Just have ten trillion kids who all definitely have the opportunity to eat just as many animals as you do! Primitive zero brain cell fools. I'd throw you all out of Athens.

[-] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

internet is filled with echo chambers who cant make ethical decisions of their own. veganism gets downvoted because it makes people question their morality & they have to make the effort of buying plant-based options. god forbid they eat food without cholesterol

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Veganism gets downvoted for the same reason any other fanaticism gets downvoted: the vocal minority that talks about it does so with a hoiler-than-thou attitude, much like you are doing right now.

[-] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

The people who want me to stop punching nonconsenting people in the face unprovoked sure are smug about not punching nonconsenting people in the face unprovoked. They should stop telling me what to do. Live and let live. I am very intelligent. An enlightened centrist you might say! ☝️🤓

Just a terrible attempt at trolling.

[-] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah dude idk how to tell you this but some people actually do have an interest in a sustainable planet and individual's bodily autonomy. Idc if these are foreign ideas to you. OP's post itself is the trolling. If y'all don't want reactionary responses, dont troll this shit to the top post for the last six hours. You've all demonstrated very clearly how little you care about anything outside of your own momentary pleasure.

Now tell the not romanticized portion, where people get to know the average cow is not friendly nor playful towards humans.

Fitting slogan i heard at fridays climate strike:

"For the climate, change your diet! Eat! - The! - Rich!"

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can butcher it if she wants help. It shouldn't be too different from pigs.

(It's really precious though. Think on how many kilos of meat it has!)

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 40 points 1 year ago

Pigs are as smart as dogs. It's weird that harming onenis animal abuse and the other is breakfast. Especially when some cultures eat dogs as well.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago

Some of us don't draw a distinction at all. Shout-out to Elwood's Organic Dog Meat!

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Dunno about other people, but in my case:

  • I don't consider killing a dog for eating as intrinsically abusive.
  • I never ate dogs, but I'd probably try it as long as raised and butchered as livestock. On the other hand I'd never touch someone's pet potbelly pig.
  • I'm drinking and you made me crave salami.

How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The closest analogy that I have found is Ostrich, though that tastes of beef and liver. Venison, aka deer, is much like beef, but with almost no fat, so you have to mix it with a fatty meat to use it as beef, even then there's a richer "beefyness" to the end result.

I wish I had tried an antelope steak, when I had the ability to do so, I suspect that would be closer to beef in taste and fat content upon further research.

Carnism is one hell of a drug. Hope you can escape it soon OP. Good luck.

Same for all the others here still trapped in the beliefs of carnism.

Recipes ain't the problem. It's butchering. How do I get the steak out

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Just cut away all the bits that aren't steak.
