Even if you do choose to eat meat you don’t exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.
Headlines often frame moments for shock, but context usually tells a much fuller story than a single clip or quote.
Funny how English has
“Beef”, “Pork”, “Lamb”
when in some languages its just
[The Word for the Animal]+[The Word for “Meat”]
Literally, your language influences how you think.
My “native” languages are Cantonese and Mandarin and I always knew where the meat came from, like its literally in the word itself. [牛肉，豬肉，羊肉]
Lamb just means young sheep. The diner version for sheep is mutton.
This language quirk for calling the meat version of an animal different comes from French influence, when the English aristocracy spoke French in court. Beef, pork and mutton comes from the Old French words buef, porc and moton. Which just means ox, swine and sheep.
You say that but so you have any idea how long it took my daughter to realize Chicken, the animal, is the same as Chicken, the food?
I think mine already figured out by 2. This kid keeps making the animal noises of any animal we happen to be eating. They’re also doing “woof woof” at hot dogs.
in french it’s just the name of the animal. Here’s a cow. eat cow. A pig ? eat pig.
Maybe it makes it easier to mentally link together the live animal and its meat.
At least Gordon slaughters them first, you freak!
Are there not even specifics for different cuts or like oxtail or pigs feet or giblets or liver or stuff that aren’t “meat” in the muscle fiber sense?
yeah cuts have obscure names
here’s a picture

From the steak tree ofc.
Sir that’s a potato tree.
Yeah outrageous! We have the animals transported, killed, slaughtered and packed behind closed doors so no one buying meat would have to feel guilty. This way the product has no affiliation to a living animal. Why would he do this, now Gen Z/A might think meat comes from animals. This will cost the meat industry money so he might end up with a horse’s head in his bed.

I agree with Tiktok, lamb is disgusting. It’s tough and chewy and slimy and made of dead baby
Lamb is only chewy if you overcook it. Which is easy as the cuts are usually pretty small.
So in other words, you cannot cook. 🤦♀️
I’m great at cooking, I just refuse to cook meat. It’s gross.
Sounds like you’re cooking it wrong. It feels disrespectful, but a lot of the people criticizing this probably rub their hands together and say, “yummy!” when they pull a burger out of a bag without thinking of the calf/cow it once was.
I’ve never cooked lamb, I only ate it as a kid. And the last time I spent My money on dead chordate, I was recovering from invasive surgery.
Gotcha. I was vegetarian for many years, so I get it. Cooking chicken actually smelled like heated roadkill to me, I had to leave the room.
I felt healthier without eating meat, actually. Now that I am back to eating meat, I respect where it comes from and intend to use every part of my harvests (having a dog helps too). I believe I owe it to the animal to acknowledge where what is on my plate comes from and to be as humane as possible.
yeah, it’s cool how our brain can rationalize an evil act, like paying for innocent beings to be slaughtered for our pleasure, by “respecting their sacrifice”, and occasionally hunting something “humanely” and then pretending like we only ever eat meat that came from an animal that never suffered for our meals
I bet when Jeff Bezos hunts people for sport on his private island, he takes a minute to respect their sacrifice. And if the first shot doesn’t kill them, he makes sure to shoot them in the head so they don’t suffer.
nonhuman animals aren’t people
That’s our choice, personhood is a social construct. Don’t be a realist, take personal responsibility for your worldview. Choose whether animals are people.
Nature made us this way. Life exist by eating other life, that’s how it is. Blame god/universe for it.
Yeah, that’s the part of this which is most upsetting for the lamb.
I haven’t had a good gyro in awhile. I should hit up Arby’s
TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.
But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷
That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.
Obviously he just picks the one he hates the most.
I really want these two videos to be posted two days apart
You stupid
donkeylamb!
Depends on how many lambs he’s picked out in the past. Like it might not just be flavour but fat content, muscle, how nice it’s coat it. All those things can add up to a better meat.
And it’s from 2022, so I’m guessing the outrage has passed
Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.
I’m surprised anyone would invest 5m to this in the first place.
Is he the one who is slaughtering what he picks? Because making a show of it and having someone else kill it isn’t so much better than a bunch of tweens pouting on social media. The tweens can at least claim ignorance
He may have some flaws but the man can butcher meat. He is famous for his knife skills.
You guys don’t look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?
I only look that way at the neighbours dogs when they bark at me.
Do you hunt you own food with your fangs or do you just eat processed garbage?
Not really no.
heck yeah brother
We’re still trying to figure out when/how/what it will be like when we teach our kid where her food comes from.
At the moment she likes to eat beef and shout “THE COW LOLA” (not at the same time). going to be fun when we tie the two together.
My family raised cattle. Whenever I asked where the beef came from, my grandfather explained it was usually the older heifers, or the one that refused to obey the training (which usually happened as they got to 3 or 4 years). I had a very sad moment when I remembered one would nuzzle and lick my face and realized I hadn’t seen it in a year or so (I was 5 or 6).
I had to have this chat with my daughter as a surprise when she saw a pig on a spit. Couldnt duck it or deflect… had to handle it on the spot.
“Wait, does chicken come from chickens?” said my daughter, “How did we know they would be so tasty?”
We had already told her beef and milk comes from cows, just hadn’t thought about pointing out the obvious one.
Took me long enough as a child to realise that chicken was chicken. I’m nervous for my kids turn…
How old is yours? Mine is nearly 4 and has figured it out. It helped that, when we went on vacation, the supermarket sold complete chicken with the head and feet still attached, and cow tongues and pork feet and things. We even pointed out a pig brain for him to look at. It also may have helped that is favourite food is snails, mussles, squid and small fish with their heads attached (fried anchovies, he calls them eye fishies). All pretty recognisable on a plate!
When i was a kid (4 or 5), we used to go to a fish market all the time. They had a tank with live squid in them and i swore i’d never eat them.
We went to a restaurant and they had calamari. I LOVED it. My mom finally asked me if i knew what animal calamari was and i didn’t know.
She said “squid”. I stopped for about 5 seconds and then stuffed another few in my mouth…haha.
you must be doing a great job with their nutrition. Mine’s 2 1/2 , so we’re just about arriving at full sentences, so not quite yet :)
Eh, not really. We have only very recently cracked the code to getting him to eat any veggies aside from cucumber. Before that he would usually just eat meat, fish, potatoes and rice. Anything green would lead to drama. We showed him Popeye and how the spinach made him strong. Now, anytime he eats his veg he gets to “pick me up” and throw me on the couch. It’s been three weeks and he still likes doing it so, fingers crossed! 😄
Good to know you guys are still adapting,ours generally eats most stuff but sometimes she hesitates with shredded meat and that makes that particular mealtime forever, but she eats her food.
Also there are some things she obviously prefers like crackers.
4.5ish was about when my kid started connecting the dots
yum
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.
Pfft, you are all dumb! I don’t need to kill animals to eat meat!
I just buy kine at the store!
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.
