You are missing out, 2 of the tastiest meats there are

If human tasted great, would you say we were missing out?

 

[alazz]

?

And certainly animals that are threatened or endangered should be off the table.

I thought it was funny. Unintentional?

 

[EloquentM]

I need to try lamb some day, how is it best prepared?

Roasted with pineapple sauce.

 

[legbone]

This is true and I've been assured by a friend that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled.

If we just allowed the poor to sell their children as food then they would stop being a burden, but rather profitable business people. This of course would also help to decrease the abortion rate.

nice quote! that was the first thing i thought of also.


anyway, i feel sorry for people that don't eat veal. then again, more for me! yum!

 

[flippedb]

Everything? Well ok.

 

[speculawyer]

I'm in the uncomfortable position of starting to think that it is not moral to eat other mammals . . . but meat is so tasty that I can't stop.

Chickens are fair game though. Fuck them. Fucking dinosaurs.

 

[brianjones]

roasted in a banana leaf

 

[BertramCooper]

Oh, "off the table." Ha. Yes. That actually was unintentional.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Rare animals and Humans. That's about it.

 

[hoos30]

I'd eat Jennifer Lopez.

So true! If everyone would just get off of their high horse they would realize that there is a ton of money to be made with the consumption of human beings.

We don't know that it doesn't and I fail to see how lamb/veal is equivalent to human

 

[abusori]

Lamb is really good, not sure why you wouldn't eat it. There's a great restaurant near me that sells gyros 24/7, plenty of my nights end there with a buddy or two.

Duck is the best meat I've tried so far though, but it's too expensive to eat much. Duck + thai red curry + rice = best meal ever conceived

 

[Seanspeed]

Humans are animals.

 

[Pinkuss]

None. As a vegan I think it's the method that's bad (not that I'd still eat meat but I don't think the concept of eating animals is wrong necessarily).

 

[legbone]

according to Kurt Vonnegut (i think it was him) it tastes like spam. i believe it is urban legend though. supposedly why spam is such a good seller in areas that previously practiced cannibalism. of course it is most likely urban legend and probably has to do with how well spam keeps in harsh conditions and the price of it.

Mmmm veal is so good, I'm so happy supermarkets here (UK) are starting to sell it, delicious

 

[Graphics Horse]

So you wouldn't eat parrot then?

Exactly.

 

[Loofy]

That's not intelligence... That's just being a good tool.

It knows its helping you, thats all that matters.

 

[frankie_baby]

Humans are animals.

So are animals other than lamb or veal, but you singled those 2 out

 

[BlastProcessing]

No animal.

BTW, why do vegan don't eat insects?

Personally, you have to draw the line somewhere and I draw it at if an organism has a central nervous system or not.

 

[BobTheFork]

You sit across from the animal, put glasses of wine on the table and tell them one glass is poisened and they have to drink one. If the animal isn't smart enough to figure out that you poisened both glasses, it's fair game to eat.

 

[Seanspeed]

Its almost like we're in a discussion about which animals are morally wrong to eat.

 

[V_Arnold]

This short video might be very appropriate for this thread.

 

[cashman]

Cows

 

[Deified Data]

If it's endangered I would consider it "immoral".

I have no particular compunctions against the eating of flesh so much as how those animals are treated before they're fed to us. Had I the time and resources I would gladly hunt/raise all of my meat.

 

[frankie_baby]

Its almost like we're in a discussion about which animals are morally wrong to eat.

And that's what I'm doing duscussing, if anything in my country (uk, though maybe not in other countries with lower animal welfare standards) its morally wrong not to eat veal

 

[mantidor]

I love dolphins, although they're tasty too.

are dolphins really tasty? it doesn't seem like it.

 

[Steelrain]

Fish. I have pet fish and I hate all non-white people that eat fish.

Well then! I love catfish....so there!

 

[FallingEdge]

Fish. I have pet fish and I hate all non-white people that eat fish.

good thing im not white

How is NOT eating a baby cow morally wrong? :/ What on earth?

Anyways, you said I was 'missing out'. I was making the point that 'taste' maybe isn't the only consideration for what we eat.

 

[Amakusa]

Animals that eat other animals.

that is all

 

[Celegus]

All of them. /moralhighground

 

[- J - D -]

I say most things are fair game, but I do make exceptions for endangered species and humans. Cultural relativity, yo.

If people don't eat veal male baby cows are shot at birth

 

[THRILLH0]

As a vegan, my issue is with the way these animals are treated and slaughtered and it's that which I find completely and utterly immoral as opposed to the actual eating.

 

[Derrick01]

Just dogs/cats I'd say. The traditional pet animals.

 

[XenodudeX]

As a vegan, my issue is with the way these animals are treated and slaughtered and it's that which I find completely and utterly immoral as opposed to the actual eating.

Yeah we need better standards for slaughter, but at the end of the day, the animal will die.

 

[alazz]

The animals area already being slaughtered immorally so your stance is symbolic at best.

Sincere question: Would it be fair to say unless you can support moral treatment you're not doing anything to stop immoral treatment? Is there validity to this claim?

 

[Seanspeed]

If people don't eat veal male baby cows are shot at birth

Probably better that way than to be teased with life.

And lots of male calves are raised for beef still. They're not all killed.

 

[frankie_baby]

And lots of male calves are raised for beef still. They're not all killed.

They get a longer life than chickens typically

Not male dairy cows, which is what veal is

I don't quite understand this post. Is it aimed at me?

Are you saying that animals are being slaughtered immorally regardless of me being a vegan? If so, do you understand how supply and demand works? A minute difference is a difference nonetheless.

As to your second point, of course I support the moral treatment of animals.

 

[THRILLH0]

An astronomical number of 'byproduct' calves are starved and slaughtered.

 

[muddream]

Exactly, corporate farming is sick through and through (even dairy & eggs), people who just won't eat veal/lamb can't claim any sort of moral highground.

I don't see any ethical problem in eating game or saltwater fish in a sustainable fashion...it's also the most healthy meat, so win/win.

 

[Joni]

In 20 years, someone will stumble into this thread and wonder why horse meat is being mentioned so much...

I'm already thinking it. Horse is really good. But I live in Belgium, we are apparantly one of the eight biggest horse eating countries worldwide. (China, Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands)

 

[Seanspeed]

They Not male dairy cows, which is what veal is

I have lots of problems with the meat industry, to be sure.

 

[googleplex]

Any endangered animal or prime ape(too closely related)

 

[BananaBomb]

i think it's morally wrong to eat anything above like the insect level. but then again i eat cows and chickens all the time so fuck me right

 

[Vaporak]

I try to not eat animals that have shown signs that they are self aware, or ones that play an important part in ecosystems and are endangered. Other than that I don't really see the difference between eating an animal and a plant.

 

[smr00]

I would eat a fucking unicorn if they existed. No animal is morally wrong to eat, there is only tasty animals and non-tasty animals.

This.

And i would eat the fuck out of a fucking unicorn.
