omnivorous grumbling
there's a certain type of evangelical vegan i am very tired of - the one who is genuinely shocked that meat is critters and thinks that's a secret that has been kept from people and all they need to know to change their minds
there is definitely stuff that gets lost in factory farming, and having it all processed - but also -
bruh? if you are surprised about what chicken is and you're over the age of 12? that's kinda on you
omnivorous grumbling
similarly, if it's shocking that chicken is chicken, i'm not gonna trust in that dude's in-depth critiques of any farming system since he apparently just realized farms existed like two days ago
and i know with great surety that due to privilege, he's not bothered to learn anything about cooking beyond the superficial
because wtf did you think the giblets came from in your chicken roast, eh? that they make harvest vegan chicken hearts and put them in there for kicks?
omnivorous grumbling
but honestly this type is also the sort to accuse you of eating a baby every breakfast because you had scrambled eggs
and not be talking about the cost of factory-farmed laying hens etc etc
nope they just freak out because egg must equate to cute baby chicken, and refuse to think any more on the subject, while directing all their ire at *you* because you got a boiled egg in your lunch
...it's some of the most city slicker bullshit i think i've ever heard

@wigglytuffitout what's most confusing is that the eggs you usually find in stores are unfertilised so you're definitely not eating a cute baby chicken
you are in fact eating chicken periods which would probably be a far more effective thing for them to say

@InspectorCaracal @troubleMoney I KNOW RIGHT????
like... if you get a fertilized egg, you know. You Know! it is Not Subtle!!!! i don't know how anyone could like... get through 5th grade biology/sex ed and look at an egg and go "yes. this is definitely something that contains a whole entire baby chicken"
PROBABLY NO COINCIDENCE THE ONLY FOLKS I'VE HEARD TRY THAT ARE CIS DUDES

@wigglytuffitout ikr
I once made the mistake of mentioning that I kind of wanted to have a deer farm to my vegan SIL and of course as a result I had to mention that it would likely be a venison farm and she was like "but don't you like deer?" and I was like "er, yes, that's why I would want to have a deer farm?" and she was like "how can you KILL them if you LIKE them" and I was like, I regret all of my choices that led me to this conversation
