Right? I mean it is all dead carcasses, they just apply learned disconnect behavior. Tell them to eat a dog, and they lose their f'cking minds. No difference.
Man, I still eat some meat (will fully stop some day), and that disconnect is crazy among the people who don't really think critically about what they eat. I got on a rant about how south Korea shouldn't have to make eating dogs illegal if we're still gonna slaughter thousands of pigs per day, and everyone looked at me like I was nuts.
Exactly! Years of programming, of teaching them "this" is not like "that." Sorry, Blanch, but it is. huh.
It is undeniable that the current system for producing chicken in supermarkets often involves conditions that cause suffering. The chickens themselves endure hardship, the workers involved in the process face challenging circumstances, and consumers find themselves with limited choices for affordable nourishment. Seek alternatives like supporting local farmers who prioritize ethical practices, or explor other sources of protein. This is not merely a matter of personal preference, but a reflection of our interconnectedness and a step towards lessening harm. 🙏
Tastes like impending cancer
This is why I only eat weird chickens
also obesity
There is nothing of note to this. It's a single study in a so so journal.
Here's the source: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/8/1370
I'm aware of it's source, as stated this isn't a journal of high reputation. As I also started it's a single study which means nothing, it's dozens of large scale studies with replication which informs.
Ah, misunderstood you then.
Are there generally any methodical issues with the study in the end or is it a case of just being wary of the source?
While the source is of some note, it's more that a single studys findings are just one small part of the puzzle. It's takes many studies, massive numbers of people and data and lots of time to come to an in-depth conclusion. It's interesting, but it means nothing for now and so it's best not to panic over it, go posting it everywhere as if it's news. It's the start or possibly end of a line of investigation. I hope that makes sense.
Can't eat anything anymore
Just gonna get worse in the US since our director of Health and Human Services literally does not believe in germ theory.
Plenty of veg alternatives.
Chicken Little's Revenge. 🦖
