      Yeah, if you like something don’t learn about how it’s done, just think god gave it to you like that. If you think about it you ain’t gonna eat anything anymore. Everything we buy is either very disgusting or involve some kind of torture/slavery (human or not). So either don’t think or think a lot and only eat from your own garden. (fyi I live in a flat so I can’t have a garden)

    Side question: the US you don’t have ham made from a single piece of meat?

    In my country that is the norm for ham, an abomination like that has no market. The only similar to it is something like “low fat chicken ham” (not actually called ham on the box as it would be false advertising)

      The list of unprocessed meat we eat is fairly short, I can only think of oysters.

        Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.

        Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?

        There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.

        Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
        Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.

          I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.

          I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.

      Sure, but there’s a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.

      There are different degrees of processing. The “meat” mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.

    God, my sister bought a can because she was visiting and wanted to try it, and didn’t eat it before leaving so I thought I’d eat it to get rid of it… 😩

    I can’t remember the last time I gagged while eating something, but this caused me to almost vomit mom’s spaghetti.

    That’s dog food. Not meant for human consumption.
