Counterpoint: lobster is delicious

Why are you okay eating cow meat and not house cat meat?

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

House cats: overwhelming over weight so mostly fat. And not the type that pigs and cows are. Feral cats: riddled with diseases and malnourished.

Cows: mostly muscle and with a marbling of fat.

Wow so what youre saying is that youre okay eating one but not the other because one tastes better?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Frankly, if you're looking at the morality of eating meat, this is as good a stance as any.

I don't eat either of them

Why are you making assumptions about what I'm ok with?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we'd see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we'd probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.

You can't discount the role that tradition plays in that. Because mutton and goat would have replaced beef decades ago.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I wish mutton and goat were more available near me. Lamb can be had but I want bigger cuts for stew or curry.

All the cultures that do raise those as their primary meats prefer beef.

You're actually just interested in novelty.

Well, I can't fit a cow in my house, and it's not generally cute and cuddly, so it must die instead. But seriously though, are cats even delicious?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

cow [... i]s not generally cute and cuddly

You couldn't be further from the truth.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fiiiiine, they are cute. And maaaaaybe cuddly, even though they tend to smell if they've been outside all day. ^And^ ^they^ ^are^ ^delicious.^

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

even though they tend to smell if they've been outside all day.

So do cats and dogs.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, but I keep my cats inside, so they smell really nice. Too nice... maybe I do want to eat them after all.

Technically modern insects are descended from shrimp and lobster, so this is bugs good vs dry bugs bad
