Are you the WB frog?

Cool, I feel the same way when i see child labor in sweatshops, or hear about suicides in Chinese factories.

You want to eat Chinese people?

I love chicken. I typically have at least a little bit every day, somehow. Last week, I ate a whole rotisserie chicken after working out. It was amazing.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Your point being what exactly?

That it's not only kinda shitty to fail to feel sympathy for those who suffer for our benefit but actually pretty creepy if it makes you even more enthusiastic to reap those benefits...

What else would 'man, I'm dying for a Chinese right now' mean?

 

[IceCold]

I don't think I know anybody who doesn't like it.

I never said I don't feel sympathy for them nor did I imply that I went for KFC purely because I saw some chickens being killed. That's two mistakes you made incorrectly in one post. You made a third mistake in comparing a chicken to a human. Human's have eaten chicken since the dawn of mankind. Now I don't know about you, but I've never had a human - specifically a Chinese human - for dinner before, and I don't intend to start now. But, again, comparing the two? Ridiculous.

I like chicken too.

Your post made it pretty clear that watching footage of chickens suffering made you want to go and eat chickens (that had probably suffered in that way) . And the clear implication of my comment is that just as we should care if the products we buy cause suffering for the producers, we should care if the foods we consume cause suffering.

Another assumption? How shocking. I said watching chickens made me hungry, not chickens suffering, and I didn't make any implications that that was the case. And the foods we consume aren't causing suffering as we consume then. I should point out that the foods we consume, in this case chicken, are dead and void of all feeling by that point.

I don't know how to make it any simpler. The chickens you were watching were suffering. It doesn't matter whether you think the reason you became hungry was because you were watching chickens in general or because you were watching chickens who were suffering, the fact is you watched chickens who were suffering and that actually increased your desire to contribute to that industry. That's what I find a bit creepy (I don't expect most people would decide never to eat chicken again after watching that, that's not the point). And what you 'pointed out' also entirely misses the point. There is a difference between eating a chicken that was raised humanely and was then killed and eating a chicken that spent its life in constant anguish and was then killed. If you care even a little about which one ends up on your plate then you're doing a great job of concealing it...

Wall chicken?

Free range or bust.

Beef>pork>chicken.

However, when I do eat chicken, it's usually delicious roasted chicken thighs.

How do I know you are telling the truth?

I just bought one of those small pre-cooked supermarket chickens for dinner. I tore that shit up.
