Would you agree that meat should be called flesh?!


Question: A lot of people can't seem to make the connection from the hamburger to the cow.

Labels such as meat, beef, pork, bacon etc. help this along, people only imagine food when they hear these words, not the fact that an animal died to make it.

Words are powerful. Let's embrace them to help change social convention.

Start calling meat dead animal flesh!

I support u 100%!!! some of them also afraid to watch the animal being kill... but i dunno whether they think like this also when they put the meat into their mouth... what can i say?? pity......

P.S. I'm sure changing our wording even slightly will have an impact on social convention. I'm didn't say that it would path the way to animal liberation, so I don't know why people made that out. Report It

People are known to suddenly change their lifestyles when all these seeds start sprouting in their mind, and they might not even remember all the non-intrusive comments that sunk in earlier in life.

    sure

    Many people DO call it flesh.

    Think about it... they can't call EVERYTHING "dead animal flesh"........

    How would people tell the difference between ground pork and ground beef (if they didn't know what it looked like) if it was ALL called "dead animal flesh"...

    Also, that's biased. I'm mainly vegetarian, but still, that's biased.

    Meat means it's from an animal, people know that. It's not like they are passing it off as marshmallows or something.

    Ohh, what a grand idea.

    I’ll have dead animal flesh on a sesame seed bun, with lashings of tomato ketchup please.

    Yummy

    It is a nice idea in theory, not quite sure how well it would work in practice.

    However, to be blatantly honest with you, if someone can’t make the connection, they are either a very young child or a complete imbecile.

    .

    Only if that will end the stupid "some vegetarians eat fish because fish isn't meat" garbage.

    I think people realize that it IS an animal that was living and is now dead. I just think their too idiotic to take it in deeply. Like, how the animal felt when it died, how tortured it was, how a baby calf was taken away from its mother and slaughtered...
    People just don't take it in deeply when they look at their food. Yes they think of dead animal on their plates when eating steak, but they just don't understand that it IS flesh,...once-living-and-had feelings flesh....
    But to answer your question, yes i would agree to call it flesh. Who knows? Perhaps it can change some views, i dunno.

    Would I say "cow carcase", or would it be better a "cow corpse". We are human animals anyway.

    Arrh, well i do occassionally pick up a Yogurt, read the label and put it back saying "oh no, not that one, its got dead pigs in it"

    (many yogurts have pork gelatine in them )

    But thats just playing a game, if they overhear me, thats thier look out, i'm sure people know exactly what they are eating ( or maybe not......)

    I don't think calling it anything from meat to decaying animal, from Fois Gras to deseased liver...it doesn't matter, people will still eat it and its not my role in life to change thier minds.

    Lol, I have been trying to spread around calling the forms of meat (bacon, pork chops, ribs.........) by the name of the animal it comes from. Like I don't say steak, I say cow. I like yours too! Flesh can be a gross word.

    YAY!! Dead animal rotting flesh!

    You are a freak. I know it is dead animal flesh and I love it. It taste so good.

    I dont give a damn Id eat Flesh as opposed to turning into a sickly enimic pussssy. Humans are omnivores we were made to eat flesh too.

    Dead animal flesh is still tasty! Dead cows, pigs, chickens, lamb, and the rest of the flesh is good for me, thanks for giving me a new name for my food, to make it more appealing. My husband just asked what was for dinner, and I told him cow flesh, he said,"YUM!"

    if you think that only"enlightened" people like you can tell the diffference or put a piece of burger and a cow together, then you are certainly entitled to your own ignorance and arrogance. You can call meat anything you want, it won't make a differece because people have decided to make their own choices AS IS THEIR RIGHT, despite the fact that you propose people should do as you want them too. Not too many people are as controlling and freedom limiting as you are anyway.
    Since you propose "honesty" may I suggest labelling fruits as say "child abuse apple" in reference to the child laborer who picked that apple for you so you can munch it at your conveninece? How about "crushed in a combinbe lettuce" in reference to the animals killed crushed by harvesting combines? Or "bounty rabbit carrots"? In reference to the bounty paid by the government to vegetable farmers for every rabbit killed because of "overpopulation"? Yes, lets embrace them to help change social convention.
    Yes words are powerful and I wish i could use words such as "idiot" and "fool" to describe you but the guidleines prohibit me from doing so.
