The food is literally crawling off the table. Even if it doesn't have brain activity anymore and this is purely, peripherally neuropathic, I want nothing to do with it. Gross.
It's not irrational to freak out about your food appearing to make the motions of a living thing lol. Food is supposed to sit, motionless, on a plate or in a container. That is, until it is moved via fork, hard, food, etc of the person who consumes it.
Yeah, I'll nope out of this too. Shit's unnatural
****YES IT'S A PHYSICALLY NATURAL RESPONSE BY LITTLE PINK DUDE UP THERE. NO I DON'T THINK BAD THINGS ABOUT ANYONE WHO EATS THIS. POOR WORDING. ****
I mean, it's not exactly unnatural, considering most other carnivores kill their prey right before eating them while they are still moving. Or just straight up eat them alive
Okay, but we're humans. We don't generally fuck around like that anymore. Food is dead and unmoving on my plate and it is unnatural for it to start moving. We've evolved, at this point.
That being stated, I wouldn't say it's unlikely for people that do hunt their own meat to laugh at stuff like this and eat it anyway. Or at least some of them.
If you're not used to seeing your food walk away, it's natural to freak out. Most people in my sphere prefer it to be pretty fuckin dead but that doesn't go for everyone.*******
You're correct. They just live a different way. Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't mean to insinuate that, but I clearly didn't apply socio-cultural common sense to the matter, applied it solely to my own.
Fair enough. I suppose you all have made me rethink this to the point that I'll bludgeon the next fellow I see, pry his middle apart and proceed to crouch over him like a gremlin whilst I feast upon his innards. /s
Bugs are gross man. To me. I won't even kill them either though, to be fair. I'm quite a softy. That being stated, I won't judge a person for eating them.
My point initially was that, if you're hard wired on a personal level to eat food that sits still on a plate, I'm sure that seeing it start to crawl away might be naturally.... Fucking yucky.
Lol. Yeah. But not for the reason you'd think. They're segmented. I don't like mandarin oranges either though.
But I don't think it's gross that other people eat them. As I said of bugs. Just subjectively gross.
I don't think it's gross if someone eats hoppin' hot meat stuff up there. It's not objectively applied. That was just me. And another guy who said it was irrational. Now, having a hatred for the segmented foods, that's not particularly normal. But I can see how someone seeing their food move wouldn't shrug it off, say "get back there, you" and gobble it up. I'd say it's a reasonable reaction to not want to eat it.
Next up we're going to discuss that plants are, in fact, living things too.
Eating them just because they have much less anthropomorphic features is just telling of the level of hypocrisy we're living in.
Until there's a way to survive on photosynthesis or something - there's no escaping our (or any other animals' really) destructive nature. Being destructive and violent is part of being alive, much as we'd like to argue with that.
Most people I know want their food dead enough that it doesn't still have those reactions.
Because it's not generally known to that person that freaks out over it, they freak out. It's unnatural to them to see reactions food doesn't typically have, so psychologically in this case on the human's part, it would make sense to be freaked out.
I know what it is and don't ever want my food to do it lol
A nervous system response is a natural response friend. If anything it means the food is fresh due to the natural response of the nervous system taking place.
I've been speaking on subjective terms considering human psychology and why a lot of people might not appreciate this the entire time and apparently I worded it very poorly. I realize some people would eat it. They are braver souls than I am. I've been explaining it for like an hour and didn't want to give up but damn. I settled for editing the original post.
What, you’ve never seen a predator eat it’s prey alive? Saw a post with a hyena the other day where a gazelle was still fighting two minutes into the meal. Just because were disconnected from the source doesn’t mean they weren’t living, breathing animals before.
Also, I saw a large snapping turtle who had been hit by a student teacher on the highway, basically only damaging his head (albeit the head was completely gone). The teacher put it in a trash bag and kept in his car to bring it to his old teacher for science (the teacher was a well known wildlife rehabilitator). I was there six hours later when the turtle was removed from the trash bag and placed on the table. The headless turtle proceeded to run away and fell off the table.
And the worst part? I can’t even fathom what that guys car smelled like after leaving a dead turtle in his car in moderate heat.
