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

Thats what you get when you base your personality on what you eat.

I know it's a cliché, but say this on Reddit and you'll be downvoted into oblivion. Tried it many times. Criticize meat and seemingly reasonable people suddenly start making the same circular arguments they usually mock.

Why does that cow have 3 legs?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 21 points 2 years 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.

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

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.

Fitting slogan i heard at fridays climate strike:

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

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

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 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

And then draw the rest of the fucking owl.

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.

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
