Obviously he just picks the one he hates the most.
I really want these two videos to be posted two days apart
You stupid ~~donkey~~ lamb!
And it's from 2022, so I'm guessing the outrage has passed
Depends on how many lambs he's picked out in the past. Like it might not just be flavour but fat content, muscle, how nice it's coat it. All those things can add up to a better meat.
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.
"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...
My family raised cattle. Whenever I asked where the beef came from, my grandfather explained it was usually the older heifers, or the one that refused to obey the training (which usually happened as they got to 3 or 4 years). I had a very sad moment when I remembered one would nuzzle and lick my face and realized I hadn't seen it in a year or so (I was 5 or 6).
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! π

Funny how English has
"Beef", "Pork", "Lamb"
when in some languages its just
[The Word for the Animal]+[The Word for "Meat"]
Literally, your language influences how you think.
My "native" languages are Cantonese and Mandarin and I always knew where the meat came from, like its literally in the word itself. [ηθοΌθ±¬θοΌηΎθ]
Lamb just means young sheep. The dinner version for sheep is mutton.
This language quirk for calling the meat version of an animal different comes from French influence, when the English aristocracy spoke French in court. Beef, pork and mutton comes from the Old French words buef, porc and moton. Which just means ox, swine and sheep.
You say that but so you have any idea how long it took my daughter to realize Chicken, the animal, is the same as Chicken, the food?
I think mine already figured out by 2. This kid keeps making the animal noises of any animal we happen to be eating. They're also doing "woof woof" at hot dogs.
in french it's just the name of the animal. Here's a cow. eat cow. A pig ? eat pig.
Maybe it makes it easier to mentally link together the live animal and its meat.

Yeah outrageous! We have the animals transported, killed, slaughtered and packed behind closed doors so no one buying meat would have to feel guilty. This way the product has no affiliation to a living animal. Why would he do this, now Gen Z/A might think meat comes from animals. This will cost the meat industry money so he might end up with a horse's head in his bed.
You guys don't look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?
heck yeah brother
Do you hunt you own food with your fangs or do you just eat processed garbage?

So the eating of the meat is okay, but joking about it is over the line?

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.

Headlines often frame moments for shock, but context usually tells a much fuller story than a single clip or quote.
Usually a comment pointing this out would provide the missing context.
Even if you do choose to eat meat you don't exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.
