      Ah yes, no concern for a poorly understood disease because its better known effect “doesn’t scare me”

      Where have we heard this before

        I mean there are a lot of problems with corporate agriculture being sidestepped here.

      The world would improve greatly if vegan or vegetarian food had better marketing around quick and easy prep time.

            My neighbors watched in horror one year when I grilled a lobster alive. They asked in terror : "Did you just put that lobster in the grill alive? I looked at them and said back: Ah yep! You buy them to kill them to eat them.

                I does not really bother me. I just think it is a shame how much unnecessary suffering there is.

                You could easily kill the lobster before putting it on the grill with a knife.

                Not sure how putting it on alive changes anything.

                    I’m no raging vegan, I regularly enjoy meat of varying kinds, but dude, really?

                    That honestly sounds like you’re inducing suffering for the sake of it, and gleefully so to boot.

                    That really isn’t the flex you seem to think it is.

                I wonder if you would be like this if you’d get bit by this tick.

      Real talk: you remember in the ninties when everyone started looking into agriculture in regards to cleanliness and not using sick animals and animal welfare?

      After thirty years of ag gag laws and deregulation, that situation may not have improved.

      You can eat meat if you want to. I recommend a cooking thermometer.

      I’ll have well cooked meat occasionally, but I am not just eating marketing. If I eat meat I know it’s junk food and that it absolutely has to come to temperature.

      Sort of like abstinence education, wrap it up folks you don’t want to know where that thing has been.
