That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

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.

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.

“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…

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).

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.

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.
- 5 months
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.

Maybe lying to your kids is indicative of a deeper problem (carnism).

wow, very interesting. what was it like raising your kids as vegans?
EDIT: How many kids do you have? Did you raise them all as vegans?

Ikr? All those lambs grow up in paradise, are being well cared for and can cuddle with their friends all day! Sure, at some point they’ll go to the butcher, but it’s all taken care of, they barely feel thing, they’re being murdered humanely after all!
It all falls apart if someone tells them :O
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]
- 5 months
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.
- 5 months
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?
- 5 months
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.
- 5 months
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.

Interesting that the second character looks like a skeleton torso, since characters are kind of pictograms too. I assume that one means “meat”? ( sorry, duh, you just said so)

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.

Yeah outrageous! We have the animals transported, killed, slaughtered and packed behind closed doors so no one buying meat would have to feel guilty. This way the product has no affiliation to a living animal. Why would he do this, now Gen Z/A might think meat comes from animals. This will cost the meat industry money so he might end up with a horse’s head in his bed.
5 monthsYou guys don’t look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?

More like disassociation. They just don’t connect killing animals to eating meat. So they don’t feel a cognitive dissonance.
Like… People living comfortable in captialistic countries/societies, don’t think they personally kill all victims of capitalism. They just don’t connect these things. They disassociate their life and living standards from the ‘others’.
- 5 months
Yeah. Basically same as buying shit from places known for child and slave labour.

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”.
- 5 months
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.

To be fair, I don’t think the “average person” is to blame. Some people are just more sheltered or “eyes-closed” than others.

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.
- MBech@feddit.dkEnglish5 months
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.

We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat. Some steak fries and light salad are optional.
- 5 months
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.
- 5 months
I agree. Still, the distinction is a very cultural one. So many cultures, even civilisations can trace their beginning back to a coastline or river. Hunting things like mammoths was actually quite rare, but it makes for better stories. Taxonomically there isn’t even such a thing as a “fish”.
- 5 months

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.
I saw a Ted Talk years ago that posited that the thing that sets humans apart is that we are ‘coctivores’ - the species that cooks its food. Interesting stuff.

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.
