    Cloned cells are fair game to me but not my thing because they are probably bad for you just like a murdered chicken in a sandwich is.

    Can you expand on what’s bad for you about a chicken in a sandwich? I get it that toubare vegetarian or vegan, I don’t need you to explain the ethical reasons, you seem to imply that from a dietary point of view chicken in a sandwich is not healthy?

      My aunt had helicobacter for years. Not a joke.

      Apart from that we got lovely H5N1 which has an easy game on poultry farms on animals with weakened immune systems and is bound to break out or mutate if not the whole flock is culled. It’s killed people and some virus could emerge when human and avian flu viruses join forces. It’s ravaging in non-avian wildlife and even a polar-bear currently. All this screams next novel pandemic.

      And stuff like this that sure will effect human health in some way. Those behaviours are deliberate. It’s a ruthless industry.

      Not the person you’re asking, but I’m guessing it’s about the belief that eating red meat especially is unhealthy and some people then apply that to all meats.

      I believe this stems from the studies that show meat eaters (e.g. average person) is generally unhealthier that someone following a strict vegetarian/vegan diet. This ofcourse doesn’t take into account the fact that the average person eats lots of other stuff too that the health consciouss person doesn’t and there’s usually vast differences in general lifestyle too such as amount of exercise, sleep, smoking etc.

      If you ask me what’s bad about a chicken sandwich I’d say the sandwich itself.

        Yeah I thought about the red meat belief, but we are talking chicken here, white meat. Hence why I asked.

      Red meat from cows or other such murdered animals can lead you to have gout problems and other such autoimmune issues.

      That said, chicken the lesser evil. I used to eat chicken every day. However I learned how chicken are grown. They are basically bags of fat packed with antibiotics. If you love getting sick and fat, that’s the way to go. Specially the Costco roasted…yeah get some of that extra juicy crispiness.

      When they grow the baby chicken, they are sorted in big machines by people. The males are tossed into the grinding part of the machine. The females are gently tossed into cartons for the egg laying and murder meat industry. So most male chicken see life for a few days before being grounded into McDonald’s chicken flavored pink slime stuff. Or probably they are mixed in with corn and fed back into the chicken… mother lays egg, has Chick 🐣🐥 and then is forced to eat it so you can get eggs. But I bet some is fed to other animals. I bet chicken eat other animal meat too.

        Lord I don’t know where to start, i thought you had some insights on chicken meat that ib was not aware of but… you just sound confused and most of this is just a mess, let’s address one thing at least

        I bet chicken eat other animal meat too.

        I know you want to make it sound edgy like omg chickens being fed animals but yeah they are omnivore creatures, they do eat other animals starting by bugs and snails, big part of their natural diet, all the way to to actual meat leftover.

        I guess we can call their preys, ‘assassinated bugs’?

          Look, Liquid Death sold a lot of water with violent branding. Vegans might just be inventing the future branding of meat.

          “Would you like your burger murdered (traditional) or undead (lab-grown)?”

            Not sure is sarcastic or not but an interesting point. I eat meat and see some future in alternative meats, if produced, marketed and labelled clearly could benefit everyone.

            That said I can’t stop but thinking that vegans should stop this nonsense of using murdered and other similar bullshit when talking, it removes any credibility they might have. Just saw in another post someone referring to milk as something like baby cow formula, and I facepalmed.

              Yeah, that was me. If you’d like to see my thoughts on why these differences in language matter, here’s my last comment on that thread:

              https://lemmy.world/comment/8591091

              But I want to ask another question: why does this kind of language evoke such a reaction in you? An animal is a living, intelligent being, with their own volition and life that they want to live. We humans are murdering them (among many other awful things). Why is it so controversial for us to simply call these things what they are?

                LOL we are having the same convo in multiple posts. See my other longer reply, but as I mentioned there we are not murdering them, murder refers to human beings. And it’s not that if you say “butchering” or “slaughtering” it comes through as nothing, these words are pretty loaded with meaning, and they are the correct ones.

          You should watch cowspiracy and seaspiracy. I’m not really a gullible person that believes everything she hears. But take a look at those videos. The videos are clearly not straight documentary but try and pick up the important information.

          I haven’t said I’m vegan yet I’m being treated like one. Try pretending to be vegan. It’s an uphill battle to not eat meat. Specially in the US. I challenge you to month of not eating meat. After that we can discuss one vs the other option in a non partisan way. I haven’t had meat in 3 years and I’m better than before. Going vegan was a good decision but not what improved my health. Avoiding sugars did. If you want to meet in the middle try avoiding sugars. Once you fail the first time, try to figure out why anyone would put sugar in the thing you ate that made you fail.

            I am not sure why you say I’m treating you like a vegan, or gullible. All I saw in your previous post was ignorance, like GASP chickens eating meat. And cows getting murdered.

            If I come to the US I’ll certainly consider a month off meat.

            However why you are giving me all this dietary advice? I just asked why you think chicken in a sandwich is unhealthy and now you are trying to get me not to eat meat NOR sugar!

            BTW I don’t eat sugar at all and cowspiracy is trash

            [X] Doubt.

            But take a look at those videos.

            I’ll pass.
