    I sad tofu meat because that’s the kind of fake meat I like. There’s also the kind where they make sort of stringy material and glued together and then the version where they get a plant or other scaffolding material and fill it with animal clone cells, that’s the kind you’re talking about here. Cloned cells are fair game to me but not my thing because they are probably bad for you just like a murdered chicken in a sandwich is.

      Can you expand on what’s bad for you about a chicken in a sandwich? I get it that toubare vegetarian or vegan, I don’t need you to explain the ethical reasons, you seem to imply that from a dietary point of view chicken in a sandwich is not healthy?

        Red meat from cows or other such murdered animals can lead you to have gout problems and other such autoimmune issues.

        That said, chicken the lesser evil. I used to eat chicken every day. However I learned how chicken are grown. They are basically bags of fat packed with antibiotics. If you love getting sick and fat, that’s the way to go. Specially the Costco roasted…yeah get some of that extra juicy crispiness.

        When they grow the baby chicken, they are sorted in big machines by people. The males are tossed into the grinding part of the machine. The females are gently tossed into cartons for the egg laying and murder meat industry. So most male chicken see life for a few days before being grounded into McDonald’s chicken flavored pink slime stuff. Or probably they are mixed in with corn and fed back into the chicken… mother lays egg, has Chick 🐣🐥 and then is forced to eat it so you can get eggs. But I bet some is fed to other animals. I bet chicken eat other animal meat too.

          Lord I don’t know where to start, i thought you had some insights on chicken meat that ib was not aware of but… you just sound confused and most of this is just a mess, let’s address one thing at least

          I bet chicken eat other animal meat too.

          I know you want to make it sound edgy like omg chickens being fed animals but yeah they are omnivore creatures, they do eat other animals starting by bugs and snails, big part of their natural diet, all the way to to actual meat leftover.

          I guess we can call their preys, ‘assassinated bugs’?

            Look, Liquid Death sold a lot of water with violent branding. Vegans might just be inventing the future branding of meat.

            “Would you like your burger murdered (traditional) or undead (lab-grown)?”

              Not sure is sarcastic or not but an interesting point. I eat meat and see some future in alternative meats, if produced, marketed and labelled clearly could benefit everyone.

              That said I can’t stop but thinking that vegans should stop this nonsense of using murdered and other similar bullshit when talking, it removes any credibility they might have. Just saw in another post someone referring to milk as something like baby cow formula, and I facepalmed.

                Yeah, that was me. If you’d like to see my thoughts on why these differences in language matter, here’s my last comment on that thread:

                https://lemmy.world/comment/8591091

                But I want to ask another question: why does this kind of language evoke such a reaction in you? An animal is a living, intelligent being, with their own volition and life that they want to live. We humans are murdering them (among many other awful things). Why is it so controversial for us to simply call these things what they are?

                  LOL we are having the same convo in multiple posts. See my other longer reply, but as I mentioned there we are not murdering them, murder refers to human beings. And it’s not that if you say “butchering” or “slaughtering” it comes through as nothing, these words are pretty loaded with meaning, and they are the correct ones.
