Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

I thinks saying she was a vegetarian was just an excuse not to eat the food I was offering. It is still incredibly stupid though.

yes if you where going to lie just say your not that hungry or on a fast type diet for a week not eating meat.

Exactly.

Sometimes people just don't think.

We raise meat animals on our property from time to time. Chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs... And when my friend found out about this, she was very shocked and sad. She said "How can you just kill them? That's so sad!"

Now, she's not a vegan or a vegetarian even, so I was confused. I asked her, "What do you mean it's sad? Don't you eat meat?"

Her response was, "Well yes, but I don't know those animals!"

So then I'm thinking, "Okay so you're just being willfully ignorant so you can eat meat and not feel bad. Someone somewhere knows those animals. If anything you should want to know where your meat comes from. I feel much better when I raise and butcher my own meat because I know what goes into my meat, that they didn't suffer, and I know all of my animals had awesome lives before they died."

I feel like it's entirely too common for people to distance themselves from what they eat. Like meat just grows on trees somewhere.

LOL...reminds me of something my 5 yr old son asked the other day. "Mom, what does corn come from" (He's used to seeing eggs come from chickens) "It grows on plants like tomatoes do Bubby." "Ohhhhh, ok (big grin)"

To Macros post, But wouldnt that hurt the trees? Or does a tree that pops meat out magically, not have feelings? What a confusing world this is.

Reminds me of old stoy about a guy going in to dinner and being told that the special for the day was cow tongue sandwichs. He says gross, would never eat something from a cow's mouth. Let me have some eggs.

My best friend of 40 years is like that. She'll gladly swallow down all the steaks and bacon you can throw at her, but can't stand the thought of eating anything that she's seen alive. As in that animal, alive. I just shake my head. The sad part is, I understand it. I really do. The faceless ones from the factory farms have never been seen. But the cute cow or chicken in someone's yard or farm, awwwww. Still, Yes, that's completely wrong and backwards thinking.

Another misconception many vegetarian people have is that we feel glee or happiness when we kill animals. No normal person enjoys that! How crazy!

I was like that once, then I turned 5.

Wow ignorant on so many different levels, I would assume you are an "English" (what Amish call us regular Americans) I want to show that person what Amish dress and customs are they would probably need a change of clothing from soiling themselves and throwing up over slaughtering day and such.....

?????? commenting on hunting not diet..........

I was responding to an earlier post where someone said they had been told that it wasn't healthy to eat meat. I supposed I should've hunted it down and quoted it, but I was being lazy. That's why I didn't quote anyone.

Sorry for any confusion.
