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.
Handle it? By talking about how torturing and murdering animals is bad? Or just normalizing the violence and not worrying about it?
Then people wonder why our society is so shitty.
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!
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

“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…
Maybe lying to your kids is indicative of a deeper problem (carnism).
I got into hunting specifically to bridge the gap - if I’m not willing to kill the animal myself, why am I ok eating the meat? Turns out I didn’t have any issues killing a couple deer, but sitting in a tree stand in the cold at 5am wasn’t quite my cup of tea.
You guys don’t look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?
heck yeah brother
Do you hunt you own food with your fangs or do you just eat processed garbage?
Yep. Completely normal in a ghoulish culture.
What’s the difference between doing that with a lamb and lamb steak?
This just seems more like a troll than anything.
you’re right - there isn’t - both are equally disgusting
Good to know, but you know what?
Yummy yummy Imma go eat me some lamb.
I LOVE KILLING ANIMALS FOR FUN!!!
Vegunz: owned
Nothing wrong with being a vegan. But when you bring your fee fees expect to be ridiculed for them.
If feeling bad for baby animals being killed earns me ridicule then so be it
I’m not ridiculing your personal choices on veganism, I’m ridiculing you publicly expressing it.
This just seems more like a troll than anything.
Damn. Now I’m hungry.
What is that? WHAT IS THAT!?!
Not going catbox, tell me what it is!?!
I was scared too… But it’s just the video of GR doing this.
Even if you do choose to eat meat you don’t exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.
Oh yes, we do. I’m giddy about getting certain specialties: lamb, duck breast, foi gras.
Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.
If not food, why delicious?
Humans taste the same, wacko.
Some more bitter than others.
We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat. Some steak fries and light salad are optional.
Peak carnist brain. Sniffing their own farts too long.
Does being vegetarian make you lose your sense of humour?
Do you want less people to eat meat? Or do you just want to be a righteous snob on the internet?
Because those goals are mutually exclusive
Just a normal person. The majority of us eat meat. A sad minitory of people can’t accept and get amusingly butt hurt by it.
I think that has mostly been debunked. Even the hunter gatherers were much more gathering than hunting, in the big picture. And fishing is probably more relevant than meat (if we’re making that distinction). And later it was really agriculture that made our species what it is and it’s very much the grains (and rice) that made the big difference.
Not a vegan btw.
Heh, fish are meat.
I think you are giving a very eurocentric description of early humanity
I eat meat, but this is stupid as f.
So you got here by veggies alone?
We are this thing called “omnivores.” If your brain worked, you might bother to find out what that means. It would revolutionize your whole existence.
Dude. You have some kind of problem with steak fries and a salad? That is not meat by the way but pootaaato and lettuce. My existence is one of understanding and comprehension but yours is not.
I’m starting to think you’re trolling me. But in case you really are this stupid, I was reacting to this part of your statement: “We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat.”
I’m not you just go around calling people stupid as fuck(only you can’ type it out) and you get upset when someone calls you on it. You sound vegan to me.
So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?
Yeah. Basically same as buying shit from places known for child and slave labour.
Cognitive dissonance
yum
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!
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.
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.
“I cOuLd NeVeR bE vEgAn!”
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 dinner 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!
casually CHOMPS on my pet cow
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?
In english it’s just the french word… beef, pork, etc… All french.
It’s because carninsts are extremely privileged to the point that they were french aristocracy in england.
Funny how English has
Those are not actually English words. “Pork” is from French at least. It’s a euphemism for the english “swine”. Meat is a luxury for the extremely privileged.

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.
DO NOT WASTE ANIMAL PROTEIN
lol yeah that makes you a good person. The caps really seal it.
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!
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.
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.
I haven’t had a good gyro in awhile. I should hit up Arby’s
If you’re going to Arby’s for a gyro, then you’re not even good at being a carnist.
- Who unironically calls someone else a carnist?
- Sorry the actual sit down restaraunts around me closed during covid and never re opened
Yeah, that’s the part of this which is most upsetting for the lamb.
