mechanically separated chicken
good lord that looks so disgusting x_X
it's time to start distributing insta-spray meat in a can. meatz whiz, cheez whiz' retarded cousin.
Meatz Whiz used to be my porn name.
well i don't like meat, so.. yeah.
I'll still eat it
im pretty sure it's gonna come back out looking the same as the picture rofl...ewww
i'm still skeptical. who pours food directly into a cardboard box?
just read about mechanically separated meat ;p it's what chicken nuggets/hot dogs / ground beef etc. are
I always kind of wondered what part of the chicken nuggets were made from XD XD
i read a bunch on it after seeing this. doesnt say anything about being pumped into a box
and i dont see it as being much different than spam
i think they're all in the same family!
That's probably some weird japanese flav ice cream. Like.. chicken, or pig... something weird
here you go, a video of it being poured into a plastic covered box... but still pink and disgusting...
I think I'm going to be sick
is it really any grosser than what we're more familiar with?
i mean, fuck, animal parts are animal parts. i dont know how chicken paste is more shocking than filleted muscle.
mind you - im arguing the "controversy"/hype surrounding this picture going around. i find it neither attractive or abhorrent, personally
what i think is gross is that before that machine was used people were using compressed air to loosen extra bits of meat off the bones -
and thus were inadvertently inhaling meat particles which their bodies produced an autoimmune response
fun note - "chub" is mentioned in the last video.
I'm with Brad - sure it's kind of gross but so is everything else haha
totally. If you watch people make ground beef, it's gross.
I am in agreement. I see nothing wrong with meat like this.
i think all meat in general is gross. this picture is just so disconnected from the actual appearance/expectation of what enters your mouth
and that is where the interest comes from.
haha, you obviously don't know my love for "chicken spread" that looks pretty damned close.
with meat i kind of actually prefer that it not look too much like an animal's intact muscles haha
i can't handle anything like ribs or wings where you just rip the flesh right off the bone
but i don't like meat too much to begin with, anyway
I'm not really a fan of the whole process of taking meats and shredding them and forcing them through .. things.. i dunno
I feel like the less it looks like meat, the less people realize what they are eating and feel less 'bad' about eating it
for once rose - we agree! MIRACLE OF MEAT.
but i definitely see your point kinar. i think there's a huge disconnect in the process of ALL foods.
well...chicken nuggets are mostly meant for children...i think kids are less concerned with where food comes from
i think it'd be real difficult to wean the west off its current "meat must be the primary focus of EVERY MEAL" mentality though ): even via
imo everyone should start cooking at home. that's probably what turned me flexitarian right there -- having to prep meat is gross lol
AGREED. and i hatehatehate the meat w/ every meal mentality. pissssses me off something fierce. it doesnt make you macho to eat a steak you
BOUGHT from a fucking WALMART.
(no offense, sarah.)
lololol I love meat but I don't eat it with every meal, hell I don't even eat it every day. Steak doesn't make you macho no matter where it
comes from, it just tastes good (matter of opinion of course)
how does wanting meat with every meal become a mentality that elicits rage? it doesn't affect you directly
I enjoy a good steak every now and then (once a month MAYBE) and aside from not being a dude I don't feel it makes me macho
I'm with Bara - prepping meat IS gross. I always make Matt do it XD
that kind of sounded like you meant it about me - I know what you meant hahaha
I'm not a big red meat eater myself. I might eat some pork ribs once in a blue moon maybe. Pulled pork is better for me. and Bacon.
But, the more processed meat get's, oddly, the more grossed out it makes me. i saw a thing of chicken nuggets today, and I had to gag at it
now. I mean it's still meat, but soft serve chicken just seems so weird. That and it's like a hot dog, etc. you have no idea what's in
oh man...pulled pork and hash how i love thee... but again, it's one of those lovies based on super spiced meat
the sound of pulled pork makes me cringe, prolly because we never had it growing up, lol
me the same shuddering feeling as the words "baby back ribs"
hahaha the name does sound mean XD. It's just pulling apart a piece of pork. Like if you would shred chicken. Or pull it apart. Now that i
think about it.. it does sound pretty gross to make it.
But it's soooo good.
it's sad that animals have to die for my meals. but i always thank them for being so delicious.
and meat will never go away. if we didnt have animals, i'm pretty sure we'd eat each other.
my thoughts exactly hahahha our bodies were designed to eat meat. sorry veggies!
such is the circle of life! Mufasa teaches us well! herbivores have been food to the carnivores for millions of years. So dont feel toooo
We are just blessed with the guilt emotion.
sort of....i read somewhere our appendices were made to handle raw meat or something. we're slowly evolving away from meat actually.
I dont know about evolving. Since we still have an appendices. It's there for a reason. We just learned how to cook food now.
our bodies are actually NOT designed to process just meat. our intestines are too long, we have more molars than sharp teeth (vs dogs etc)
but yeah not many people eat "just" meat either. meat usually has rotted by the time it gets to the end of our too-long digestive tract
we do better without it (with less, anyway) but it's not like we can't handle it.
we just can use more from vegs than meat; rather we get more energy from eating things besides meat
i don't really want to turn this into a veg vs. omnivore convo because i really could care less what you guys ingest but i thought this
"Our omnivorism means we're capable of eating meat (useful from a survival standpoint if that's all that's available), but our bodies
aren't geared for it to be a normal, significant part of our diets."
It's more like.. yeah meat is fine once in a while. which everyone here seems to agree with anyway, but our culture definitely is under the
impression that it needs to be in EVERY meal
people shouldn't be harassed just for wanting a veg option when they go out. I really do love mcDonald's once in a while or other fast food
but it's just annoying because all i can get are fries. i mean i love fries, but not everyone ALWAYS wants meat in their meal
and you don't have to be a vegetarian to want a meal without meat in it once in a while. that's what gets me. you take a veg option at some
restaurant and ppl are like OMG ARE YOU SOME KIND OF VEGETARIAN HIPSTER EMO HIPPIE?!
...no, i just don't see the health benefits of having dead flesh at every meal.
i eat meat but want tasty veggie options! i love fake meat tacos!
also - i kind of hate the teeth argument. that simply compares us (omnivores) to animals built primarily as carnivores
did you read the article?
it has some pretty good examples
more just nagging at those who use dogs vs people as "proof" we shouldnt eat meat
"Humans lack a desire to eat whole animals
True carnivores (and omnivores) salivate about the idea of eating whole
prey animals when they see them. Humans do not.
We're interested in eating the body parts only because they've been removed
from the original animal and processed, and because we grew up eating them, making it seem perfectly normal. It's amazing how
much of a disconnect we've been able to learn about the difference between animals and food."
Our species has been eating meat for hundreds of thousands of years, I'm pretty sure our bodies are evolved to process meat.
homo habilis are our ancestors and they were hunter gatherers about 2 million years ago.
omnivores. our teeth aren't all sharp because they don't have to be any more. humans have the capacity to innovate, that's why we dominate
hunter gatherer societies of history - fruit and berries, sure - but also meat. that was hunted. ancient spear heads and arrow heads? yeah
those were used for hunting
evolution is a slow process but the processing and harvesting of meat today has made it unnecessary for us to act the way our ancient
ancestors did. I don't need any nutritional supplements that a veggie might need from cutting meat out of their diet. not everyone, but some
humans can't fully digest plant matter either, so there goes that argument. cellulose!!
it's not exactly a recent development
and since then it's been a part of our diet and our bodies HAVE adapted to digest it.
like I said I don't eat it with every meal or even every day. I do think that these days nobody really thinks about where it comes from anym
anymore, and that itself can lead to questionable practices regarding processing and "harvesting". but meat is in demand and always will
be because that's the way it's been for thousands and thousands of years
just because we don't go out back and kill our meals with our own two hands or perhaps a spear like our ancestors did doesn't mean we
shouldn't eat meat, or that our bodies aren't designed for it.
Stephi mentioned the appendix earlier, another interesting subject to look at that unfortunately we don't know too much about
If it is there to help us digest meat, and once it is removed in modern times you can still digest meat, evolutionarily we've adapted
knives, which have existed for many many millennia, have made having sharp teeth less of an evolutionary priority
bottom line is I think if you ate meat exclusively you'd probably die XD that's why we're OMNIvores, I don't think anyone's arguing that
I wonder though, how a vegetarian would have fared in ancient times
because our bodies have adapted to digest meat, dietary requirements of today's veg would be way different I think
interesting to think about.
doesn't change the fact that we have adapted to eat meat, you'd have to take it up with ancient people lol
well.. if you look back far enough, we were once part of the ape family were we not? And Apes do eat both meat and plants. So.
but.. it would be funny to watch the first veggie man going around trying food. Like.. Poison Ivy.
and Kina just made me sick...
and not want to eat meat with that "its rotted by the time it gets to the end of your track anyway"
some primates have been known to cannibalize
It's been documented. They do. And it is freaking messed up to watch.
They showed it one "Planet Earth" thing.
At least we don't eat other humans because they are in our area.
They even catch lil monkey's and eat them.
so why not eat cats, dogs, or horses?
some people do
and western society criticizes them
Would you?
If I ate meat, I wouldn't discriminate.. i tried anything and everything my grampa gave me, lol. the strangest being lung and tongue. ew.
but yeah.. dead animal is dead animal, meat is meat! i had caribou for xmas once! lol
and if you're gonna get squeamish over eating a cat, then.. you shouldn't be eating meat in the first place, IMO
I have an "I'll try anything once" philosophy on life. some people keep pigs as pets and we eat those!
well, a lot of countries eat cats and dogs too, because those are dirt poor countries. and discerning tastes is one of the things that make
us human. It's fine to choose not to eat meat. but it's not the end of the world if you do.
come to think of it, the less meat you eat, the more meat I can eat. and the less plants i eat, the more plants you can eat.
just remember, if the apocalypse happens, you herbavores better be fast on your feet.
and last point: to say why not eat cats or dogs if you eat meat is like saying well, you like salad, why not eat tree bark?
Coesistence without judgment, please. it's just food, it all goes to shit anyways. No point in debating how shit starts.
i have eaten tree bark! lol
Because food philosophy on the importance of meat socially is based 100% on perception. If you love meat, but refuse to face the realities
of what it actually is, then you shouldn't be a consumer of animal life.
What differentiates a dog from a cow in terms of meat ethically? Jack shit. I'm pretty sure no one really jumped into the "eww, I wouldn't
eat cats/dogs" because it was pretty obvious where that argument was heading.
My personal view for meat eating is moderation. A huge peeve of mine is hearing women going "I really don't like meat THAT much but my
My personal view for meat eating is moderation. A huge peeve of mine is hearing women going "I really don't like meat THAT much but my
husbands whines if he doesn't get meat with every dinner". And it's fucked up that I've heard this on PLENTY of occasions. Typically men
30+ seem to get that way - from my experiences at least.
And at the risk of sounding like a dirty hippy - our planet can't support harvesting animals en masse forever. As much as we need to think
about renewable energy we need to also think about sustainable food sources.
If we simply cut back a meal or two a week in regards to our meat consumption we eventually collectively bring the demand back down to
reasonable levels so supply isn't sprawling all through the place and rampaging through our resources.
though their stipulations kind of...blow.
