Non-vegan playing devil's advocate, here; I've always hated that argument: Yes the chicken is already dead, but by purchasing the product, you're paving the way for more chickens to be killed to replace the one(s) you ate. Supply and demand. We need to come up with a better counter-argument.

Personally I'm not ready to stop eating meat, and probably never will be. I'm counting on lab-grown meat to come down in price enough to be produced en mssse within the next 10-15 years, and then I can enjoy all I want, 100% guilt-free. I will be among the first to buy it when it hits the supermarket.

That makes sense when you are in the store and still buying them.

It doesn't make sense when they are already in the oven being heated and have been paid for some time ago.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

Nah it still makes sense, because the meat you just bought will have to be restocked with more, this resulting in more chicken deaths. If no one bought the meat, there'd be no reason to replace it with more.

If it's already cooking and it's not done when the cooking stops due to outside conditions, (power outage) it's going to waste. It's effectively consumed when cooking starts, not when it goes in your mouth.

But then I’m buying more nuggets to replace the nuggets I didn’t get to eat because they’ve been ruined. It effectively doubles my meat consumption for the meal.

What fallout character looks like Harry Potter?

Sorry, thanks. Why does that fallout character look like Harry Daniel?

Vegans: Why does no one like us?

Also Vegans: (Always "on" and going out of their way to insert themselves into situations so they can act exactly like that).

Yes I know not all vegans are like that but I also never see them telling the militant ones to STFU and stop making them al look bad.

I don't buy meat, but I'll eat it if it's given to me. It's a treat to me, and I savour it when it happens. The downside is that vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters all hate me 😂

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Regular vegetarians have tried to tell them to tone it down, it just makes them more radical.

[–] dragginupagain@lemmy.today -1 points 35 minutes ago

That's because vegetarians are hypocrites or don't care about animal suffering in the first place. Ideologically they have more in common with meat eaters than with vegans.

Do you expect vegans to mind control other vegans or something? Militant people are usually not the ones who listen when you ask them to shut up.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago

"Militant" is being kind. "Belligerent" is closer to the experience.

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 hours ago

Isn't mind control a perk you can select on a vegan Fallout run?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

It's as annoying as someone bragging about big ol' raw steaks and ribs and such, like they have been doing in the Texas political stuff lately. Both as a smear ("look at this pussy non-Texan!") and a defense ("I do love ribs, I really do!") and it all comes across the same way to me.

Truthfully, neither types of statements personally bother me, but given everything we know about the climate, economics, etc., the vegans are better and easier to defend.

…What chicken nuggies take 20 minutes to cook?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

That’s the joke. You don’t have to cook them because it’s mechanically reclaimed mulch and probably already sterilised.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Oven or air fryer are a game changer

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 30 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of them do in the oven. They’re way better that way.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago (8 children)

I think an air fryer has distorted my perception of cooking times, heh.

to make them delicious, yes.
Also maybe you need less time if you're only making 4 in an air fryer, but us sane people make 8.
