I don't get it. Braiding live animals would be worse, right?
*slowly puts down garter snakes"
"Go on..."
Might taste better when roasted even
That's called cooking. And we usually call it meat instead of dead animal, because it's a specific part of the dead animal that's tasty and nutritive once cooked.
Ya but braided meat is bad cooking. It wouldn't cook evenly.
Not cooking evenly is usually something desirable
You never had a butterflied chicken thigh? Or even a leg of lamb? The meat isnt even thickness, you gotta cook it in a way that cooks it through while keeping the thinner parts edible.
Dont forget the high amount of fat
That's an ordinary braid.
I could explain how you'd French braid meat but I don't think anybody here wants that.
I don’t think anybody here wants that.
Talk for yourself!
Where is the French braiding meat OC?
Shit, now I'm thinking about it and you'd need something big like a flank steak or a brisket. I don't think a pork-loin would work since it's not broad enough. You'd still need to probably butterfly it, and then fringe the edge so you had strands to work into the braid. Best I can think of would be more like braided filled pastry than anything else. Not a terrible sway to do a stuffed roast or roulade I guess.
Get enough of this type of content and it will turn you vegan.
Nah, veganism is a religion. You don't get into a religion because of pictures of meat.
Now, pictures like this may turn someone's stomach and make them stop wanting to eat meat, though I have no idea how damn wimpy someone would have to be for this picture to bother them, but a piece of meat in front of them wouldn't.
Hell, I've been wrist deep inside of wounds and it didn't turn me vegan. I've cleaned up road kill and it didn't turn me vegan.
This is just some clean meat decorated. It's no different than stuffing a turkey, or butterflying a chicken breast, or doing a stuffed roast, or a braciole.
Seriously, I'm being a dick here, but you have to be a giant fucking wimp to see this picture and be so grossed out that you stop eating meat. Like, any motherfucker that can't handle this picture would fucking die if they ever had to actually kill their own food. And that's such a massively wimpy thing, I can't think of a word for how utterly fucking lame that is. Like, motherfuckers, what the fuck would you do if you got injured and saw your own muscles? Pass the fuck out and die, that's what would happen.
Are people really that disconnected from reality? That the sight of some clean meat is some kind of horror? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick, how sheltered does someone have to be for that? I mean, offense intended, but anyone that grossed out by this picture needs to grow the fuck up and get some life experience.
Agree overall, but I still downvoted because of the statement "veganism is a religion".
You either don't know what veganism is or what religion is.
As a meat eater, I applaud anyone that follows or wants to move towards a (more) vegan diet.
I was part of the vegan cult for years until I read this comment, thank you for saving me.
I was a wimp. I didn't enjoy the idea of harming and killing animals, I had watched videos of animals being gutted alive and having their throats cut and squirming for literal minutes afterwards. This was uncomfortable, but only because I was a wimp.
After reading your comment I manned up and took my dog and 2 cats, strung them up while they were whimpering (which was hilarious), and slit their throats, cooked their delicious innards, and am finally able to walk again (I was only able to crawl because I had been nutrient deficient for so long despite what my libtard doctors told me).
I'm happy to live in a free country where I can do whatever I want with my property. In China I bet you can't cook a dog because the government is just a bunch of moralizing leftists. God gave us domain over animals, and so I get to choose what I want to do with the animals I purchase.
Big ol eye roll.
Not about wimpiness or grimacing at the picture. More about gradually recognizing that you're just eating pieces of animal flesh. For me, that went hand in hand with studying biology & med textbooks, about a decade ago. Not irrational, I'm not going "it's icky", it's me knowing what the chemical composition is, where it came from, what it is, and going, "yeah this is fucking nasty".
Eating rotisserie chicken is what made me fully realize we were just chowing down on animal carcass. It's fucking delicious, and I eat rotisserie chicken all the time.
That's a lot of words
Have you watched dominion
This type of content? You mean food preparation? What part of this is supposed to disgust me or make me want to stop eating meat?
Yeah, it makes me hungry
I don't get it. It looks like somebody's put overly emotive text on an image of somebody preparing food in a very fancy manner?
Getting hungry for meat probably is going to have the opposite effect.
Although at first I thought this was just some wool roving.
See I don't like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism but I really wish people would have more respect for dead animals.
Disgusting behaviour from some people
Where is the disrespect for the dead animal? I don't get it. It just looks like somebody's put overly emotive text on an image of somebody preparing food in a very fancy manner?
In a way this is even more respectful as it presents the meat in a unique and special way.
Personally I think the more effort is out into food, on the condition it's being eaten, the more respect you're giving to the animal.
I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism
You should though
No.
No.
It's hilarious how lemmy users generally think of themselves as left wing but refuse to admit that veganism is both morally and sustainably the better option
Dietary preferences and choices aren't exclusive to left wing politics.
I think most are willing to admit that. Admission does not equal conversation, though. I'm in that camp, but I am trying to cook more vegetarian meals -- nowhere near 100%, but progress is progress.
Edit: I should clarify that I'm concerned with the environmental impact. I have no moral issues with eating meat. Environmentally, we've seen overwhelming evidence that vegetarianism would be beneficial, and that is why I am making an effort.
See, there's that religion creeping in again.
Morals, that's religion right there, and when a religion starts from the default of assuming it's the only right answer, it's a shit religion, no matter what other arguments are involved.
would you get mad if someone kicked a dog for fun? Would it upset you if someone punched you in the face or stole your stuff? If so gtfo with that religious attitude, morals are only related to religion and the rest of us enlightened atheists can do anything we want
edit: to be clear, morals are important and good when they're constructed rationally to protect sentient beings (human and non-human) from exploitation and abuse. Religious morals are deeply problematic because they're not constructed rationally, and they try to restrict consenting adults from doing certain things together and they allow other horrific behaviors as totally fine. There's a large, meaningful difference between animal rights and religious morals
Lmmfao!
Boy howdy, did you jump the rails on that one.
I love when vegans get all zealot and het up :)
Dietary choice has nothing to do with being left/right wing.
But you see, this time it's inconvenient to me personally, so I will defend my habits and fight for them to never change even if it means suffering to others, even if the evidence that is harmful are obvious and out there. What do you mean "definition of conservatism"?
No
Weird to draw the line here, why would the respect start at preparation and not at the slicing and dicing?
If you want to make a point, albeit a shitty one, at least make sense.
