    Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don’t have to go into certain details or say “Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!”

    There’s also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.

    But yeah, this is pretty silly “outrage”.

      The average persons outrage can fuck right off on this one.

      This is the reality of it, if this behavior upsets you go vegan. Because the only difference between the one he picked and the ones he didnt is probably a few extra days before they were processed NOT for a celebrity chef.

      When I eat meat I know where it comes from, I’m not going vegan but you DO NOT WASTE ANIMAL PROTEIN in my house, partly cause of this and partly because its expensive as fuck.

        Going vegan is definitely the way to, but meat is still highly subsidized because otherwise people couldn’t afford the meat they don’t need. So then you are vegan and help people to afford meat, which doesn’t seem right to me.

        To be fair, I don’t think the “average person” is to blame. Some people are just more sheltered or “eyes-closed” than others.

      I mean, best way to get parents/relatives to shut up about you having kids is to describe the process in detail to them.

        Just tell them you’re incapable of having children, add a few tears and they’ll never bring it up again.

        When/if you get some, tell them you lied, and just wanted them to shut the fuck up, because it wasn’t their business.
