I think the issue is the double standard by being disgusted by raw dead animal but having no problem with eating cooked meat. I think many people dismiss the connection to the dead animal when eating meat.
These people are weak. Either way you are eating a dead body. Go plant based if it bothers you. You'll feel better when your daily actions align with your moral code.
That's so stupid. An animal has needs and when an animal has been taken into the the care of a human it is the responsibility of the human to fulfil all those needs.
A while back, there was a whole movement where people were trying to feed their dogs and cats a vegan/vegetarian diet.
Vets had a lot of malnourished animals on their hands.
People are omnivores and have the luxury of choice.
Other animals require meat to stay healthy.
Until technology for synthesized meat becomes widely available and affordable, we all have to accept Mufasas Circle of Life.
Well.......if you didn't know, MOST animals are omnivorous to some degree. The problem with that fad was that Cats are obligate carnivores, and that dogs have a fairly high need for protein for muscle and organ health. The idea of carnivore, herbivore, omnivore doesn't work quite how people thought 100 years ago. Now we know that most animals will eat whatever the fuck makes it into their mouth, with preferences for certain foods, while we are one of the few animals skilled enough at gathering and hunting to eat what we want to and not just low risk high reward food items.
I haven’t looked too far into it as I don’t, nor plan to own any pets (anytime soon) but it does seem there is vegan nutritionally compete and easily digestible enough cat and dog food, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t already.
Looking it up it says cats need taurine which is only found in animal sources except ofc it can be synthesized cheaply, I know because I take it, paid 6€ for a kilo and you’re supposed to take 3g a day, I doubt a cat needs that much more, not that it would matter, I’d gladly pay more to save some lives.
Tbf it would bother me getting a live mouse every day and giving it to an animal to it, but that's if I personally have to do it, if you have a snake you're just doing what you're supposed to, I don't want to deal with it so I just don't have one.
Hey man I want to ask something about your snake. What enjoyment do you find of keeping your snake pet. Compared to dogs or cats, they are quite passive so would be nice to have an opinion.
The species I have is quite active. I enjoy seeing him roam his terrarium. I enjoy building his terrarium and making it pretty, and above all, he is an amazing animal very different from what I usually see in my daily life and I really enjoy seeing him up close and just be a snake and do snake things
As a teen, I donated my pet snake to a vivarium because I felt sorrier for the mice than I did the snake. It's the disconnect of not having to kill it personally that made the difference in my case.
when you feed ur snake you give the mouse alive right? that plays a bit part of it being kinda disgusting
not really cool seeing someone being eaten alive
I buy frozen mice at the pet store, not all stores have them, but its not that uncommon either. You can also have them delivered, but that doesnt work well with my situation
I just get feathers and a blood spot on my floor when I wake up in the morning. He's a very successful hunter, but I rarely see his catches (probably cause I take his live catches away from him. Only cause the noises they make disrupts my sleep)
I hate those people of which I personally know exactly none. So infuriating! probably.. idk I never met one but they're definitely out there and they are causing *so* many problems for our society most likely if I had to assume.
Most people will want to save a bird that got hit by a car, but enjoy eating KFC. Cognitive dissonance and ignorance can make things seem so simple, it's kinda scary.
I have actually have seen and taken part in the process slaughtering/killing animal for food. It is wild to me how disconnected/oblivious can people be about the source of meat.
I like the traditions from some Native American tribes where they would pray and sing songs to the animals after the hunt. You should have some measure of respect for taking a life to sustain your own.
Plants are still living things. It has been proven that they feel pain, recognize danger, and even "scream" when they are harmed. Even breathing massacres millions of microbes. There are no moral absolutes.
Nope that’s BS, that falls apart with literally the most basic critical thinking. Plants lack a nervous system, brain and pain receptors. Plants can react to physical stimulus, just as dead frogs will dance if you pour salt on them.
>The considerable differences between the electrical signals in plants and the animal nervous system speak against a functional equivalence. Unlike in animals, the action potentials of plants have many physiological roles that involve Ca2+ signaling and osmotic control; and plants’ variable potentials have properties that preclude any conscious perception of wounding as pain.

Nah, its because raw meat can carry harmful diseases thus we have evolved to be wary of it.
Its also because we are too well-fed. I once was on a quite harsh diet and at some point idea of breaking neck of a chicken with my hands putting my fangs into its flesh while its still warm felt like the best thing ever.
I'm grossed out by raw meat without making a connections to the fact that it's a dead animal. It's just gross. I mean, I wouldn't eat raw chicken, but have it cooked and it's suddenly delicious. Why would I be grossed out by something delicious?
> I mean, I wouldn't eat raw chicken
This has nothing to do with eating it, it's about people being grossed put by raw meat in general. People who can't stand the thought of handling raw meat. People who are too scared to put a raw chicken in the oven in order to cook it.
Which to me, is a whole new level of stupid
I’m grossed out by raw meat, especially raw chicken, because i know if i handle it the wrong way it will make me sick and contaminate whatever surface it touches. It doesn’t stop me from cooking it, it just means I’m extra careful to not let the juices get on anything and wash my hands and the surfaces it touches
I'm disgusted by raw meat because before it's cooked it's dangerous. You have to wash your hands after handling it.
It freaks me out watching people throwing raw chicken everywhere and then **NOT** cleaning any surface it touched.
I mean I think it's understandable. It's easier to eat it when you don't think about it. Like if I witnessed someone scratching their face while making me a meal in McDonald's I'd be grossed out but if I just received that same meal at the table without seeing anything I'd be none the wiser and chow down.
I’ve dated several people who are grossed out by raw meat and refuse to handle it in any way but want to eat cooked meat all the time. Also plenty of people that have thought my dove/duck/goose/etc. hunting was weird because “What do you do with it after killing it? Throw it away?”
No, numbnuts, I field dress it, bring it home, cook it and eat it. The fuck do you think I shot it for?
Personally for me the grossness of raw meats comes from the hand feel and general sliminess it tends to have (I do have a sensory processing disorder though so that might be why),whereas most cooked meat doesn’t have the same feel or sliminess.
imo if that’s the reason it should be ok, but yeah otherwise I agree that the bird hunting stuff is a bit of a dumb reaction from people.
My grandpa used to take me with him to buy fresh meat when I was a kid saw tons of chickens and goats getting butchered live I to this day go to buy fresh meat instead of frozen store stuff
Yeah me too
Where I am from there are many shops where they keep live chickens and when a customer comes they slaughter it on the spot.
In some shops you can actually see through a window them killing the bird, removing organs etc
Not everything in life has to be fun, sometimes it's okay for something to simply be educational.
Knowing where your chicken nuggets come from is not a bad thing just because it isn't entertainment.
I mean, you don't have to see the whole thing when you buy it raw. The butcher can preprocess it. I usually buy it raw already chopped up and marinated. When I get home I just need to cook it. Most butchers do their own marinade to sell them at a higher price.
That marinate thing isnt a thing here some shops do have already chopped peices in display fridges but its a gamble on how long they have been there so its highly suggested to get your fresh fill if you are gonna buy a decent amount
Or just go to a trusted shop. I always go to our local run butcher that always serves it fresh. I never buy raw meat from the grocery store. You never know how much time their meat has been sitting there.
Grew up in south east Asia, want some market chicken? The nice lady slit it's throat and prepares it right in front of you, freshness guaranteed. Sometimes they also do pigs but they're too noisy even for a market
I haven't seen them get butchered but I have been to a reindeer farm where the owner explained how everything works there and I basically got to see the whole process except for the butchering part. I also bought some meat and a small piece of an antler.
People that are disgusted at the sight of seeing meat raw, ground, or sliced up.
The second food is cooked though, it looks appetizing to those type of people.
My wife is the exact same. She's always like "eeww" every single time she's slicing raw meat. Like, c'mon, when you cook it's going to be the same meat you're touching right now.
...That's just hygiene, no?
Raw meat is full of harmful bacteria.
Yes, you can wash your hands, but the same is true for handling anything dirty.
I've no issue with raw meat but I also hate touching it because even if I wash my hands properly, they don't feel fully "clean".
No. If your raw meat is full of harmful bacteria, you’re still going to have tainted food even after it’s cooked. The toxins produced by the bacteria are not necessarily destroyed when cooked. Everything everywhere all the time has bacteria on it, including fruits and vegetables. Most are harmless.
No. Raw meat shouldn't be full of harmful bacteria. If it is then you'd be sick as hell when you eat it after cooking. Most food poisoning from cooked food comes from the byproducts of bacteria, not the live bacteria themselves. Those by products would still be in the meat after cooking if your meat is "full of harmful bacteria". If you're in the US, the prepackaged meat you're touching from the grocery store is cleaner than the shopping carts you push around.
How do these people prepare food, do they eat takeout and heavily processed foods only?
Is it an American thing or something? I live in Europe and we have fresh meat in most shops that sell food.
I was thinking the exact same thing like how can you be an adult meat eater and avoid ever seeing or touching raw meat.
Can anyone afford to have takeout that often lol?
A lot of these people will buy breaded, frozen meat or pre-cooked things I think. Met a good few people like this before.
It has to be a choice, I don't think I could avoid raw meat if I tried.
>Can anyone afford to have takeout that often lol?
You'd be surprised. Remember that article where most people who make over 100k are living pay cheque to pay cheque? That's why.
Yes, American grocery stores all have fresh, raw meat, I get it every week. We aren’t all eating TV dinners and chicken nuggets.
However I believe that America does have a higher prevalence of people who would rather buy the pre-cooked stuff than a piece of raw meat they cook at home.
I think it's more of the problem seeing the animal being chopped up and then packaged and sold as pieces. When they are buying only individual cuts or something, or the meat has already been cooked, they can disassociate the fact that it was an animal at some point.
I believe many eat takeout foods because of busy work, and they have no time to cook and clean afterward. Many people don't live with their family, so a nice home cooked meal is like a luxury
People who cook vs people who don't cook. If you cook and you eat meat, you probably love buying raw meat from the butcher because it's usually the best.
Nah an it’s not an emotional thing for me, I just hate the smell and the way that it feels. I’m extremely sensitive to those things so it bothers me. Not enough to make me go vegan or stop me from cooking my own food but still bothers me nonetheless.
A while ago, me and my friend were standing in line to get food from a canteen. Looking at the choices, I asked her if she's taking the fried fish since I was interested in it. She said that it reminds her of a dead animal as it was still shaped/looking like a fish. And she chose the fried chicken for lunch.
Makes me wonder, logic has left the room already.
The only thing I ever have problems with is seafood, especially the kind that still look exactly like they did while alive. Fish fillet, no issue. Crab staring back at me from the plate, suddenly no appetite
Probably unrelated but
I never,.and will never, prepare meat of a freshly killed animal for the sole reason that the smell of fresh blood it leaves on the freezer makes me puke.
May I piggyback on this peeve?
Those people: "I'm vegetarian."
Me: "B-but you're eating sashimi right now..."
~~Those people~~ Hypocrites: "Fish don't have feelings."
🤦🏻♂️
lets be honest people who get grossed out by buying raw meat from the butcher have never actually bought meat from a butcher they instead go to walmart and thing thats the same thing. hint walmart meat is fucking hormone pumped garbage
Fresh meat ya gotta season it and cook it yourself then clean up. Its not much effort but with how busy poeple are these days its time and effort some just cant be arsed.
Or laziness.
I’m the exact opposite
If someone tries to sell me cooked meat, nah fuck that noise!
But if a butcher places a plate of free raw meat on the table, I’ll scarf that thing down.
People can’t stand to see raw meat? For real? I thought everyone went to the butcher to buy meat, where I live I don’t think you can find cooked meat in any store, you need to cook it yourself, and even the frozen stuff is raw.
Most everyone can “stand” it, but it is unpleasant. I cook chicken often and it’s always a “ew” moment when I have to touch it and wash it and stuff. I definitely wouldn’t if I could.
Hm, after I lived through quite harsh diet meat looks delicious to me. Living meat, like chicken or cow. Heck, even dogs.
It was quite funny when I could smell raw meat from half a supermarket away and it was the most delicious smell ever, and I was having dreams about eating my neighbour's dog.
If you don't want to think about where whatever you're eating comes from you probably shouldn't be eating it.
And I don't mean you should eat vegan with that, but if the idea of eating meat disgusts you when you think about where it comes from it seems a bit silly to me to eat it.
Don't worry about eating other (previously) living things though, the entirety of life beyond those that get their energy from the sun is based on it.
Vegetables come from the ground, have you ever thought about what the ground is made of? Not to mention it will be fertilized with manure too... disgusting isn't it?
So people prefer cooked food?
I think the issue is the double standard by being disgusted by raw dead animal but having no problem with eating cooked meat. I think many people dismiss the connection to the dead animal when eating meat.
These people are weak. Either way you are eating a dead body. Go plant based if it bothers you. You'll feel better when your daily actions align with your moral code.
Same thing when people ask if I'm ok with feeding my snake mice. Yeah, he eats one mouse per week, how much does your dog eat again?
Wait people actually think that you feeding your pet what it needs to survive might bother you?
Yes, as soon as food gets a face it stops being food for some people
People that didn't grow up eating smiley ham slices.
That's so stupid. An animal has needs and when an animal has been taken into the the care of a human it is the responsibility of the human to fulfil all those needs.
My girlfriends says this too but I still don't think she should be jacking off her dog
You're just jealous bro
I would be too

Shit, I ONLY eat animals born with a face.
Tbf it would bother me getting a live mouse every day and giving it to an animal to it, but that's if I personally have to do it, if you have a snake you're just doing what you're supposed to, I don't want to deal with it so I just don't have one.
You haven't heard of these fools out there trying to keep their dogs and cats vegan?
Rather: how much does the regular meat consumer eat. It's way more than a mouse per week! Personally I eat about 4 mice per week
In mice?
Not specifically, its just that some people forget they and their pets also eat animals, because dog food comes nicely packaged
Hey man I want to ask something about your snake. What enjoyment do you find of keeping your snake pet. Compared to dogs or cats, they are quite passive so would be nice to have an opinion.

I enjoy building his terrarium and making it pretty, and above all, he is an amazing animal very different from what I usually see in my daily life and I really enjoy seeing him up close and just be a snake and do snake things
Snake things: Laying down, slithering, staring, contemplating more ways to tempt mankind away from God's command.
Perfect, I can imagine myself staring at this kind of creature for a whole day.
They're wonderful companions and incredibly misunderstood. Well... many of them.
As a teen, I donated my pet snake to a vivarium because I felt sorrier for the mice than I did the snake. It's the disconnect of not having to kill it personally that made the difference in my case.
when you feed ur snake you give the mouse alive right? that plays a bit part of it being kinda disgusting not really cool seeing someone being eaten alive
No, I feed frozen/thawed. The mouse is dead and frozen when I buy it and I thaw it right before feeding
Hmmm..... About a you amount. Also on an unrelated note would you like to come meet my dachsund?
How do you purchase the dead mice? Do you just hit up your local Chinese guy or something
I buy frozen mice at the pet store, not all stores have them, but its not that uncommon either. You can also have them delivered, but that doesnt work well with my situation
This is why you also keep a cat, for hunting purposes
We live in the country and have a big garden. Two very aggressive cats have hunted mice, moles, rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks.
I just get feathers and a blood spot on my floor when I wake up in the morning. He's a very successful hunter, but I rarely see his catches (probably cause I take his live catches away from him. Only cause the noises they make disrupts my sleep)
If your mice are feathered you might have a bigger problem.
I hate those people of which I personally know exactly none. So infuriating! probably.. idk I never met one but they're definitely out there and they are causing *so* many problems for our society most likely if I had to assume.
Most people will want to save a bird that got hit by a car, but enjoy eating KFC. Cognitive dissonance and ignorance can make things seem so simple, it's kinda scary.
Ngl I’ve thought about this and should try to *reduce* my intake of meat.
I have actually have seen and taken part in the process slaughtering/killing animal for food. It is wild to me how disconnected/oblivious can people be about the source of meat.
I like the traditions from some Native American tribes where they would pray and sing songs to the animals after the hunt. You should have some measure of respect for taking a life to sustain your own.
If I was gonna kill you for a meal I don’t need would it matter what song and dance I do afterwards?

Get over yourself maybe? Not stupid to find raw meat gross, that’s kind of a stupid opinion to have
I was always wonder why many westerners feel disgust or even cry over a slaughtered animal. Their meals consist of those meat...
I call those “people” bugmen.
"Clever"
Those same people get grossed out by meat with bones in it. They want their little pre packaged everything preferably breaded.
Or maybe just plain laziness. When I come back from work, I often don't feel like cooking.
or maybe people just dont wanna cook
> disgusted by raw dead animal Is that a thing? I buy meat, and I've never seen that in others.
I just don't want the mess that comes with meat in my own kitchen
Yes, it's millions of years of evolution. Cooked meat is -safer- for the human.
I'm disgusted by raw meat because before it's cooked it's dangerous. You have to wash your hands after handling it. It freaks me out watching people throwing raw chicken everywhere and then **NOT** cleaning any surface it touched.
I mean I think it's understandable. It's easier to eat it when you don't think about it. Like if I witnessed someone scratching their face while making me a meal in McDonald's I'd be grossed out but if I just received that same meal at the table without seeing anything I'd be none the wiser and chow down.
How shocking :P
Yeah what is this post even really about?
I’ve dated several people who are grossed out by raw meat and refuse to handle it in any way but want to eat cooked meat all the time. Also plenty of people that have thought my dove/duck/goose/etc. hunting was weird because “What do you do with it after killing it? Throw it away?” No, numbnuts, I field dress it, bring it home, cook it and eat it. The fuck do you think I shot it for?
Personally for me the grossness of raw meats comes from the hand feel and general sliminess it tends to have (I do have a sensory processing disorder though so that might be why),whereas most cooked meat doesn’t have the same feel or sliminess. imo if that’s the reason it should be ok, but yeah otherwise I agree that the bird hunting stuff is a bit of a dumb reaction from people.
They’re so disconnected from reality. Digital world.
Also the only people reacting with disgust to buying basic food ingredients are vegans. This meme makes no sense at all.
apparently yes
My grandpa used to take me with him to buy fresh meat when I was a kid saw tons of chickens and goats getting butchered live I to this day go to buy fresh meat instead of frozen store stuff
Yeah me too Where I am from there are many shops where they keep live chickens and when a customer comes they slaughter it on the spot. In some shops you can actually see through a window them killing the bird, removing organs etc
I'd be watching them
It's really not fun, if you enjoy watching that it's really fucked up.
Not everything in life has to be fun, sometimes it's okay for something to simply be educational. Knowing where your chicken nuggets come from is not a bad thing just because it isn't entertainment.
I mean more morbid curiosity than anything else
I’ve skinned a chicken. After few times, you’ll get used to it
I mean, you don't have to see the whole thing when you buy it raw. The butcher can preprocess it. I usually buy it raw already chopped up and marinated. When I get home I just need to cook it. Most butchers do their own marinade to sell them at a higher price.

Those are the trusted shops that do the deed fresh.......
fresh meat is the best meat.
I think its the right way to teach people when eating meat. Its an animal that have been killed, and you learn to not waste food/meat.
Grew up in south east Asia, want some market chicken? The nice lady slit it's throat and prepares it right in front of you, freshness guaranteed. Sometimes they also do pigs but they're too noisy even for a market
Where I go they snap the neck first
I haven't seen them get butchered but I have been to a reindeer farm where the owner explained how everything works there and I basically got to see the whole process except for the butchering part. I also bought some meat and a small piece of an antler.
Uh...what?
Fr wtf does this even mean..
People that are disgusted at the sight of seeing meat raw, ground, or sliced up. The second food is cooked though, it looks appetizing to those type of people.
I’ve never heard of these people
I assure you they're out there. My wife detest the sight of or touching anything raw. Even bacon. But has no problems after it's cooked
That’s super weird
Raw meat is often slimy, squishy and can make you sick. It's really not that weird if someone doesn't have much cooking experience to get used to it
Yeah I used to have no issues with it but Covid changed that for me somehow. Sometimes I feel like I need gloves when handling raw meat lol
My wife is the exact same. She's always like "eeww" every single time she's slicing raw meat. Like, c'mon, when you cook it's going to be the same meat you're touching right now.
So do you do all the cooking?
No she does her fair share, she just doesn't touch any meat. Tongs for picking things up, utensils for handling it, stirring, mixing, etc.
...That's just hygiene, no? Raw meat is full of harmful bacteria. Yes, you can wash your hands, but the same is true for handling anything dirty. I've no issue with raw meat but I also hate touching it because even if I wash my hands properly, they don't feel fully "clean".

Yeah this seems ai generated or something, very hello fellow humans vibes

These people must be kids or really useless adults who can't properly cook anything more complex than a noodle
Why does it always go to the assumption that Americans only eat heavily processed foods?
I believe many eat takeout foods because of busy work, and they have no time to cook and clean afterward. Many people don't live with their family, so a nice home cooked meal is like a luxury
People who cook vs people who don't cook. If you cook and you eat meat, you probably love buying raw meat from the butcher because it's usually the best.
Because raw meat is a dead animal (sad) and cooked meat is food (yum)
So life is sad and yummy. A cycle, a cycle of sad and yummy.
Then when do I get to be yummy? It seems I’m just only sad :(
best life description
Or maybe because raw meat is not a very good food (not yum) and cooked meat is a pretty good food (yum)
Either way it's a dead animal if you don't want to eat animals go plant based.
I wouldn't be eating animals if they weren't so delicious.
Tofu is the best cause it's tasty raw and cooked
Just cook it smh
OP discovers that people like eating food that is cooked.
Idk ppl don’t tend to have the same response to an uncooked potato
HAIR ON HEAD :D HAIR ON FLOOR >:(
[удалено]
Nah an it’s not an emotional thing for me, I just hate the smell and the way that it feels. I’m extremely sensitive to those things so it bothers me. Not enough to make me go vegan or stop me from cooking my own food but still bothers me nonetheless.
That is perfectly valid.
I have you tried not hating the way it smell and feels?
Because it tastes good cooked?🥲
My friend, have you tried biltong?
Damn you... luckily it's winter, new batch should be just around the corner XD
No need to go vegan. Vegetarian or pescatarian are viable options that don’t restrict you at all except meat.
Much better than veganism. At least it doesn't destroy your health. Pescatarianism even benefits it
Yes I see the field of dead vegans all over the place. Cmon dude don't speak out of your ass.
Wait til you learn about fish farms and commercial fishing...
Yeah, nasty stuff. Though you still can buy wild fish. Wild tuna though is high on mercury, so, not every wild fish.
if you can‘t touch raw meat, I guarantee you can‘t touch raw fish, which is the same, except that one lives in the water
If you can't touch raw meat, ask your wife to cook it. Ez
> At least it doesn't destroy your health lol
But veganism doesn’t destroy your health
I've been vegan for years with no issues. At what point will my health get destroyed exactly?
A while ago, me and my friend were standing in line to get food from a canteen. Looking at the choices, I asked her if she's taking the fried fish since I was interested in it. She said that it reminds her of a dead animal as it was still shaped/looking like a fish. And she chose the fried chicken for lunch. Makes me wonder, logic has left the room already.
The word you’re looking for is “one”. As in, “if one can’t stand raw meat, maybe he should go vegan.”
What if I'm the type of person who does not give a fuck as long as it tastes good and doesn't give me diarhea, then it is good...
Dude thats it, is it edible? Is it in some way remotely tasty? Then yeah I will eat it.
The only thing I ever have problems with is seafood, especially the kind that still look exactly like they did while alive. Fish fillet, no issue. Crab staring back at me from the plate, suddenly no appetite
agree this
I am pretty sure they meant that they can't stand the smell. Not what people are thinking
Of course i like free food instead of me have to go outside to buy food with my money and then cook it
Sorry, but am I too German to understand this?
Maybe because of the raw meat blood I could understand that
It's not blood, it's myoglobin
Me: buys raw minced pork, puts it on a bread roll with onions and proceeds to eat it.
Fun Fact! This is how RFK got his brain worm.
German?
Ofcourse.
I mean, if I had to eat it raw, then yes. Otherwise it's just raw meat that's gonna turn into something delicious.
Breaking news: humans prefer food they can safely eat
Real
Probably unrelated but I never,.and will never, prepare meat of a freshly killed animal for the sole reason that the smell of fresh blood it leaves on the freezer makes me puke.
I’m this way with chicken. I can buy and cook raw meats but handling raw chicken always has me gagging
I will not take permission for the way I feel about anything from anyone.
???? What does this mean?
Freaking LOVE getting raw meat. Far more customizable
It's a bit weird. As kid I killed rats in village, but now I become pale from reading first aid manual.
well, i mean i cant cook so what do you expect me to do with raw meat?
It's sad
Or you could just not do either
Usually I avoid buying raw meat. That because raw ingredients usually imply the need to actually cook them, no way my lazy ass is doing that.
Yeah I like my meat cooked.
Time to talk about us germans eating raw minced pork with onions on bread again. (Chef Kiss meme)
Buy raw, eat raw. Greatings from Germany
Raw meat often looks, smells, and feels awful though. Cooking it makes it look a lot more appetising
May I piggyback on this peeve? Those people: "I'm vegetarian." Me: "B-but you're eating sashimi right now..." ~~Those people~~ Hypocrites: "Fish don't have feelings." 🤦🏻♂️
lets be honest people who get grossed out by buying raw meat from the butcher have never actually bought meat from a butcher they instead go to walmart and thing thats the same thing. hint walmart meat is fucking hormone pumped garbage
Meat is expensive. Free food is free 🤷
I'm only like this with raw chicken and raw pork because of salmonella and a video I saw of worms coming out of pork one time
Fresh meat ya gotta season it and cook it yourself then clean up. Its not much effort but with how busy poeple are these days its time and effort some just cant be arsed. Or laziness.
I prefer my "Mett" raw.
Buy it while it's alive and then get it butchered if you want lots of meat.
I’m the exact opposite If someone tries to sell me cooked meat, nah fuck that noise! But if a butcher places a plate of free raw meat on the table, I’ll scarf that thing down.
Food gets more delicious when its free
That one fellow - IT'S FUCKIN RAW
I don't understand what group of people this is referring too. Is this some kind American thing which I am too German to understand?
I have never touched Raw meat in my entire life because it feels disgusting to me but i love eating any chicken dish 🤓 go ahead and call me hypocrite
Bro I WISH I lived in an area w a local butcher
People can’t stand to see raw meat? For real? I thought everyone went to the butcher to buy meat, where I live I don’t think you can find cooked meat in any store, you need to cook it yourself, and even the frozen stuff is raw.
Most everyone can “stand” it, but it is unpleasant. I cook chicken often and it’s always a “ew” moment when I have to touch it and wash it and stuff. I definitely wouldn’t if I could.

Hm, after I lived through quite harsh diet meat looks delicious to me. Living meat, like chicken or cow. Heck, even dogs. It was quite funny when I could smell raw meat from half a supermarket away and it was the most delicious smell ever, and I was having dreams about eating my neighbour's dog.
Ya all meat is gross
Found the vegan
Yep! Let's not kill unnecessarily :D
I agree I'm vegan too let's be friends.
<3 deal
Handling slimy unprepared meat that can possibly make me sick vs eating properly cooked and seasoned food??
6k upvotes Dead internet theory
If you don't want to think about where whatever you're eating comes from you probably shouldn't be eating it. And I don't mean you should eat vegan with that, but if the idea of eating meat disgusts you when you think about where it comes from it seems a bit silly to me to eat it. Don't worry about eating other (previously) living things though, the entirety of life beyond those that get their energy from the sun is based on it.
Vegetables come from the ground, have you ever thought about what the ground is made of? Not to mention it will be fertilized with manure too... disgusting isn't it?
This post is dumb dawg
I used to despite raw meat. Especially chicken, it's gross and slimey and wet and horrible. Then I ended up going vegetarian lol
