    A shoutout to steve1989! For eating US Civil War Hard Tack and Boer War canned Bully Beef! And every WW2 ration he can get.

    He sure can wax poetic about the flavors of each one.

      I find it amusing how sometimes he disappears for a few months and everyone assumes he’s dead from botulism. Also funny how he still apparently lives in a room in his mom’s house despite having millions of youtube subscribers.

    This says a lot about the average carnist mindset. A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals. I think there would be a lot more vegans if people knew and were fully aware of the consequences

      I invented a device called ‘Burger on the Go’. It allows you to obtain 6 regular size hamburgers, or 12 sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it. Sharper Image is still considering it. Sky Mall’s still considering it. Hammacher Schlemmer is still considering it. Sears said no.

        It is a thing with some pastoralist peoples in Africa (like the Nuer, for example) that they will poke a hole in one of their cattle and drink some of its blood. A little snack-on-the-go that doesn’t kill the animal.

      Every single person, at most past the age of 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from. Usually much younger.

      If vegans were not such obnoxious idiots, maybe more people would listen to their arguments.

        The cost of chicken tendies vs lentils and rice has a lot more influence on whether people stop eating so much meat more than obnoxious vegans.

        Every single person, at most past the age of 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from

        https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/meat-eating-clueless-brits-food-study-farming-source-a8548511.html

        Almost two thirds could not identify the correct location of a rump steak – despite the clue being in the name - while only 36 per cent could identify that a pork shoulder steak came from the shoulder of a pig.

        More than 80 per cent of respondents could not find the part of a cow that a ribeye steak comes from, while only nine per cent said they knew where a Barnsley chop came from on a lamb.

        A quarter admitted they felt confused, did not know what to buy and don’t understand what is on display in their local butcher’s shop

        You said every person over 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from. But 80% of British people don’t know where a ribeye steak comes from!

          What bullshit are you talking about here?

          I’m not a steak fan and have no clue which parts of a cow all the different cuts come from. I DO KNOW that they all come from a dead cow.

          Your claim was that people don’t know that meat comes from dead animals. And now you’re talking about steak cuts, wtf?

          Your argument was:

          A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals

          Then you said:

          But 80% of British people don’t know where a ribeye steak comes from!

          Stop acting clueless so you can twist his words. They don’t need to know where a ribeye whatever comes from to know it comes from a cow. Which disproves your argument.

        I think people use compartmentalisation to avoid thinking about the consequences when they eat. I bet if you went to a slaughterhouse and saw the death, and if you read the science on the effect they have on local communities

        the effect

        A study looked at a series of small towns in pairs. One where a slaughterhouse opened, one where it didn’t. The towns with slaughterhouses saw increased alcoholism, mental health issues, spousal abuse… Taking lives all day long, it damages your soul. You have to become a worse person in order to survive that. A crueler person. It hurts your ability to treat other humans with kindness and respect.

        , and you remembered all of that every single time you ate meat for a month, by the end of that month you’d want to go vegetarian.

      But did you know that to eat vegetables, you actually kill them? An innocent life form - dead, just so you can eat. How can you live with yourself?

        it’s fucking disgusting. vegans willingness to destroy a life just because it doesn’t have eyes, or ears, or a mouth is just evil.

        I hope all vegans reincarnate as iceburg lettuce and rot in the bottom of the crisper.

        Vegetables don’t care if they die, but animals do. Animals don’t like dying. I’ve asked lots of animals and very few of them were suicidal.

          “Vegetables don’t care if they die, but animals do. Animals don’t like dying.”

                  we have something we haven’t been able to prove exists in any other animal: knowledge that we, ourselves, might die. animal cognitive behaviorists call this understanding personal mortality, and every time they get close to it, I’ve seen them go out of their way to say they don’t have proof any other animal understands personal mortality.

                  if you have an animal cognitive behavioral study that claims otherwise, I’d be happy to read it.

          I’ve asked lots of plants and none of them were suicidal. it didn’t matter how damaged they were, they just kept fighting to live.

          don’t you think that’s justification enough to show that plant lives matter?

              We gave it a clean 200 gal tank, friends, food that it was really picky about (he only wanted to eat the tails of the feeder goldfish. We told him he had to eat the entire things. He refused. So we ended up having these three feeder fish with half missing tails called Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner swimming around in the tank with our fancy fish because dumb old Oliver bit they butts off but wouldn’t finish the job. Eventually Oliver died by flight, the tails finished growing back, we dug a pond, and Breakfast Lunch and Dinner moved outside to become our koi. 25 cent feeders. They got huge. Gorgeous. Size of my forearm. A friend who waited tables at a Japanese restaurant offered to buy them for the restaurant because he thought they were koi and not 25 cent feeder goldfish. We liked him so we said no, go spend your own 50 cents. He thought it was hilarious. Next week we went to get sushi and their koi fountain was full of feeder goldfish.

      I think it would be conceivable to have meat come from living animals, especially if they are GMO’ed with the feel-no-pain gene.
