OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

[Habsy]

I have never and would never eat a pig, and so the answer to your question is no.

I've cooked many on a spit. Mmmm.

 

[Preston]

So yeah this democrat thing in refusing to acknowledge China's fault in all of this is incredibly bizarre to me. It's okay to acknowledge there are some real fucking issues there.

 

[LeafGm]

I mean I agree, but "food is gross" is a very first world problem. If you are starving and there is a frog...

Yeah, if you’re starving and haven’t eaten anything resembling protein for a week+, there are a whole lot of things that’d start looking very appetizing to even the pickiest of eaters in the first world.

Also, that Dr. that freaked everyone out on Joe Rogan's podcast was talking about all kinds of fucked up diseases Animals in North America have he is concerned about evolving to be able to transfer to humans. We're not safe here either.

 

[Habsy]

Yep. Separating the stages of food production is probably a good thing.

Though even here we have farmers who butcher and sell their own livestock, no?

Not without a license and inspections.

 

[MindzEye]

Also...we're just culturally different about the treatment of animals than the Chinese (specifically) are. Most of us are okay with a certain amount of animal cruelty if it's kept from our daily notice and called factory farming. The chinese will happily to go a market to pick some random ass live animal out of a fucking cage it can't turn around in and watch it get butchered in front of them.

 

[Preston]

I mean, I eat cow and pig tongue so who am I to judge?

 

[zeke]

Big government >>>

China definitely fucked up big time, and thats not racist to say at all. Even if you give them the live animal markets, they still lied and tried to suppress this thing way beyond even what Trump has done. Maybe they couldn't have completely stopped the transmission there, but maybe they could have. At the very least they could have been honest and shared information as early as November/December to let the world prepare. They fucked us all.

Please. I could never survive as a vegan. I do steak, chicken, and fish. That's it. I don't even touch lamb, duck, and other less common animals.

That's a very North American perspective. The foods you listed are very common in other Western nations.

As for other "weird" food, you wouldn't be so picky if you didn't always know when your next meal was coming. Food scarcity has been the reality for most of our history (and still is in certain parts of the world)

Eat the whole thing or GTFO

Out of sight out of mind.

 

[Habsy]

commented one day about imagine what sick **** decided for the first time that hey, we should really see what a frog's legs taste like, and should put an octopus in our mouths

The answer is usually starvation. Millenia ago people that were starving were trying everything. It's how we've found out what's poisonous too.

 

[Preston]

Liver is ok just ok.

I like chicken hearts and gizzards... That's basically it for me though.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I've cooked many on a spit. Mmmm.

Cooking it in spit would be just as appetizing.

 

[zeke]

Literally nobody is refusing this.

Simply questioning the relevance and priority of discussing this at this moment.

 

[Habsy]

Thank god for big government.

I get the double entendre here but you are correct in this point. There's a reason pandemics rarely begin in advanced societies and that reason is regulation.

 

[MindzEye]

I don't even touch lamb, duck, and other less common animals.

Dude, you're missing out.

Lamb, duck, quail, bison (and beefalo), elk, venison, moose, rabbit, goat....all delicious

I'm interested in trying gator at some point as well.

 

[Habsy]

More for me!

I mean it's funny that we think some animals are perfect to eat and others are gross.

Even when we raise our livestock on manure-raised food.
