    TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

    But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

    That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

    We’re still trying to figure out when/how/what it will be like when we teach our kid where her food comes from.

    At the moment she likes to eat beef and shout “THE COW LOLA” (not at the same time). going to be fun when we tie the two together.

      I had to have this chat with my daughter as a surprise when she saw a pig on a spit. Couldnt duck it or deflect… had to handle it on the spot.

      “Wait, does chicken come from chickens?” said my daughter, “How did we know they would be so tasty?”

      We had already told her beef and milk comes from cows, just hadn’t thought about pointing out the obvious one.

        Took me long enough as a child to realise that chicken was chicken. I’m nervous for my kids turn…

      How old is yours? Mine is nearly 4 and has figured it out. It helped that, when we went on vacation, the supermarket sold complete chicken with the head and feet still attached, and cow tongues and pork feet and things. We even pointed out a pig brain for him to look at. It also may have helped that is favourite food is snails, mussles, squid and small fish with their heads attached (fried anchovies, he calls them eye fishies). All pretty recognisable on a plate!

        When i was a kid (4 or 5), we used to go to a fish market all the time. They had a tank with live squid in them and i swore i’d never eat them.

        We went to a restaurant and they had calamari. I LOVED it. My mom finally asked me if i knew what animal calamari was and i didn’t know.

        She said “squid”. I stopped for about 5 seconds and then stuffed another few in my mouth…haha.

        you must be doing a great job with their nutrition. Mine’s 2 1/2 , so we’re just about arriving at full sentences, so not quite yet :)

          Eh, not really. We have only very recently cracked the code to getting him to eat any veggies aside from cucumber. Before that he would usually just eat meat, fish, potatoes and rice. Anything green would lead to drama. We showed him Popeye and how the spinach made him strong. Now, anytime he eats his veg he gets to “pick me up” and throw me on the couch. It’s been three weeks and he still likes doing it so, fingers crossed! 😄

            Good to know you guys are still adapting,ours generally eats most stuff but sometimes she hesitates with shredded meat and that makes that particular mealtime forever, but she eats her food.

            Also there are some things she obviously prefers like crackers.

    Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don’t have to go into certain details or say “Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!”

    There’s also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.

    But yeah, this is pretty silly “outrage”.

      The average persons outrage can fuck right off on this one.

      This is the reality of it, if this behavior upsets you go vegan. Because the only difference between the one he picked and the ones he didnt is probably a few extra days before they were processed NOT for a celebrity chef.

      When I eat meat I know where it comes from, I’m not going vegan but you DO NOT WASTE ANIMAL PROTEIN in my house, partly cause of this and partly because its expensive as fuck.

      I mean, best way to get parents/relatives to shut up about you having kids is to describe the process in detail to them.

        Just tell them you’re incapable of having children, add a few tears and they’ll never bring it up again.

        When/if you get some, tell them you lied, and just wanted them to shut the fuck up, because it wasn’t their business.
