This.

And I'll raise you and say no one needs to eat animal products, period.

Need to? Of course not.

Want to, because they're delicious? Absolutely.

Yep, and answer that perpetuates the selfish and entitled paradigm.

You're right. they are delicious. And they also have to DIE for your pleasure.

I hope aliens never invade this planet. You: Please don't eat me. Them: (in a whiny, entitled voice) But you're so delicious, I can't help myself...

And, frankly, this is what makes me so sick of all of the #wokeness. Save all the humans! Every life matters!

Oh, wait, animals? F**k 'em, they're delicious.

Hypocrites.

Ok. I bet you're one of those people who treats her dog better than her actual family members.

Nice deflection... Next.

Not a deflection. It's not some crazy mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that human lives are more valuable than animal lives, although it's obvious that you disagree. And that's fine. Don't want to eat meat? Swell. But it doesn't make me a hypocrite to value a human's life over a pig's.

Next.

NP. False equivalency. I care about humans. I just also care that I'm not contributing to the poor, miserable existence that most animals go through to give you a burger. They are awful places: the feed lots, the slaughterhouses. Those animals feel like crap, are denied their basic instincts and are TERRIFIED. Even in the slaugher houses. How many videos does one need to see of those animals supposedly stunned but having their throats cut while aware, or of chickens being kicked and stepped on? If you want to eat meat, there are ways to do it more ethically. you just choose not to do so.

And, I'll also say this: if you value humans, you also would not eat meat. Those packing plants treat their workers HORRIBLY. The safety records are terrible. There was video of a plant in southern VA where a worker took off his gloves, PISSED while on the line, put his gloves back on and continued to do his work. Because he's not allotted enough time to use the bathroom. They have some of the highests rates of industrial accidents. Terrible coronavirus numbers in those plants, also. Those places -factory farms, feedlots, packing plants- they reject any kind of oversight (and lobby successfully against it) for a reason. They treat the animals and the humans HORRIFICALLY.

So what are you for again?

It is insanity .. all that works .. those layers while you still chew it and swallow it.. and for the stomach it is all the same. Why all the trouble?

I love deconstructed lasagna.

Would you have any objection to being served blenderized food at a party? Just toss it all in a blender, pour in a glass. Refills are easy, too. Easier to serve and clean up, and for the stomach it's all the same.

I would rather eat at home, come to the party and chat with happy rested hostess then pooped one who had to slave to prepare lasagna.

Honestly, are you familiar with Poke sushi? Same difference. This stuff tastes the same in layers or mixed up.

Sure, but if it's all going to end up the same in the stomach, why not?

As for me, I like different textures, and I like the layers. I also enjoy baking to it's not a hardship. I'm just confused as to how it ends up in the stomach is your goal point.

Oddly enough, chewing your food is an important part of the digestive process. Like if you feel bloated after meals, it could be because you don’t chew your food enough. So eating deconstructed lasagna isn’t the same as popping it in a blender and just gulping it down.

Well, it's nice to know the objection is digestive and not aesthetic in nature. I myself wouldn't want blenderized food even if it digested the same, but you do you.

VA incident: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/nation-world/national/article220149970.html

"Isolated incident", because a lot of them wear DIAPERS while at work. Gnaw on that while you enjoy your chicken breast. Your meal requires another human being, adult, to wear diapers to relieve themselves at work.

This makes me laugh too as a Brit - but it goes along with the way Americans pronounce Leicester, Tottenham, Derbyshire.. the list goes on! (I’m sure there are lots of American things I pronounce wrongly too, by the way!)

What? Weren’t you the one suggesting she put it in a blender because apparently you think that’s the same thing as deconstructed lasagna?

I agree with her. Lasagna winds up as a pile on your plate. Why not take a short cut?

Why are you making the assumption that none of us do? HFS, but you come from an offensively stupid place.

Not totally food related, but... vegetarians/vegans who have cats and dogs are total hypocrites.

I love shrimp but sometimes while I’m eating one it tastes like eggs. Not bad just eggy. Also now that I know that lobster is a big insect ....

Totally agree! You would never know it was even in the lasagna.

The texture is totally different. Cottage Cheese does not belong in Lasagna. Period.

To be fair, neither does ricotta.

NP - I am for eating delicious, tasty, juicy meat. All kinds of it. As much as I can eat and still remain healthy.

But apart from that, one of the initial PPS in this subthread indicated that there is no reason for anyone to eat meat, ever. You apparently do not share that opinion - you are fine eating meat as long as it doesn't come from a factory farm. And you are a lot closer to the rest of us carnivores than the "everyone should be vegetarian" crowd - you just decided to jump in and be argumentative.

Milk chocolate for me! I sneer at those ladies who declare themselves to prefer only a splinter of dark chocolate as a rare dessert.

Although I'd love to see TV commericals for decadent milk chocolates with male spokespersons.

Love it too and agree whenever I try someone different it’s a variation of the same dish with some stuff mixed in rice with a delightful orange or green sauce etc.

To be fair Thai and Chinese (US) food seems basically the same stuff as far as I can tell. Mixture of the same spices sometimes with a little twist but all the same stuff. A sauce. A meat, shrimp, or tofu, either a noodle dish or something to put with rice. It’s all good though!

This is because you are eating restaurant Indian and Chinese food - nothing like food actually eaten, and cooked at home. I can speak to Indian food first hand - restaurants in the US are almost all North Indian /Punjabi, which is just one region of a large, diverse country. Very few people eat butter chicken or chicken tikka outside of a restaurant!
