Lord I don't know where to start, i thought you had some insights on chicken meat that ib was not aware of but.. you just sound confused and most of this is just a mess, let's address one thing at least
I know you want to make it sound edgy like omg chickens being fed animals but yeah they are omnivore creatures, they do eat other animals starting by bugs and snails, big part of their natural diet, all the way to to actual meat leftover.
I guess we can call their preys, 'assassinated bugs'?
Look, Liquid Death sold a lot of water with violent branding. Vegans might just be inventing the future branding of meat.
"Would you like your burger murdered (traditional) or undead (lab-grown)?"
Not sure is sarcastic or not but an interesting point. I eat meat and see some future in alternative meats, if produced, marketed and labelled clearly could benefit everyone.
That said I can't stop but thinking that vegans should stop this nonsense of using murdered and other similar bullshit when talking, it removes any credibility they might have. Just saw in another post someone referring to milk as something like baby cow formula, and I facepalmed.
Yeah, that was me. If you'd like to see my thoughts on why these differences in language matter, here's my last comment on that thread:
https://lemmy.world/comment/8591091
But I want to ask another question: why does this kind of language evoke such a reaction in you? An animal is a living, intelligent being, with their own volition and life that they want to live. We humans are murdering them (among many other awful things). Why is it so controversial for us to simply call these things what they are?
LOL we are having the same convo in multiple posts. See my other longer reply, but as I mentioned there we are not murdering them, murder refers to human beings. And it's not that if you say "butchering" or "slaughtering" it comes through as nothing, these words are pretty loaded with meaning, and they are the correct ones.
You should watch cowspiracy and seaspiracy. I'm not really a gullible person that believes everything she hears. But take a look at those videos. The videos are clearly not straight documentary but try and pick up the important information.
I haven't said I'm vegan yet I'm being treated like one. Try pretending to be vegan. It's an uphill battle to not eat meat. Specially in the US. I challenge you to month of not eating meat. After that we can discuss one vs the other option in a non partisan way. I haven't had meat in 3 years and I'm better than before. Going vegan was a good decision but not what improved my health. Avoiding sugars did. If you want to meet in the middle try avoiding sugars. Once you fail the first time, try to figure out why anyone would put sugar in the thing you ate that made you fail.
I am not sure why you say I'm treating you like a vegan, or gullible. All I saw in your previous post was ignorance, like GASP chickens eating meat. And cows getting murdered.
If I come to the US I'll certainly consider a month off meat.
However why you are giving me all this dietary advice? I just asked why you think chicken in a sandwich is unhealthy and now you are trying to get me not to eat meat NOR sugar!
BTW I don't eat sugar at all and cowspiracy is trash
[X] Doubt.
I'll pass.
