Funny how English has
"Beef", "Pork", "Lamb"
when in some languages its just
[The Word for the Animal]+[The Word for "Meat"]
Literally, your language influences how you think.
My "native" languages are Cantonese and Mandarin and I always knew where the meat came from, like its literally in the word itself. [牛肉，豬肉，羊肉]
Lamb just means young sheep. The dinner version for sheep is mutton.
This language quirk for calling the meat version of an animal different comes from French influence, when the English aristocracy spoke French in court. Beef, pork and mutton comes from the Old French words buef, porc and moton. Which just means ox, swine and sheep.
You say that but so you have any idea how long it took my daughter to realize Chicken, the animal, is the same as Chicken, the food?
I think mine already figured out by 2. This kid keeps making the animal noises of any animal we happen to be eating. They're also doing "woof woof" at hot dogs.

Headlines often frame moments for shock, but context usually tells a much fuller story than a single clip or quote.
Usually a comment pointing this out would provide the missing context.
Yeah outrageous! We have the animals transported, killed, slaughtered and packed behind closed doors so no one buying meat would have to feel guilty. This way the product has no affiliation to a living animal. Why would he do this, now Gen Z/A might think meat comes from animals. This will cost the meat industry money so he might end up with a horse's head in his bed.
From the steak tree ofc.
Sir that’s a potato tree.
Don't be silly, potatoes don't grow on trees.
They are roots.
TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.
But it's the Daily Fail, so 🤷
That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.
Obviously he just picks the one he hates the most.
I really want these two videos to be posted two days apart

Even if you do choose to eat meat you don't exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.

We're still trying to figure out when/how/what it will be like when we teach our kid where her food comes from.
At the moment she likes to eat beef and shout "THE COW LOLA" (not at the same time). going to be fun when we tie the two together.
My family raised cattle. Whenever I asked where the beef came from, my grandfather explained it was usually the older heifers, or the one that refused to obey the training (which usually happened as they got to 3 or 4 years). I had a very sad moment when I remembered one would nuzzle and lick my face and realized I hadn't seen it in a year or so (I was 5 or 6).
"Wait, does chicken come from chickens?" said my daughter, "How did we know they would be so tasty?"
We had already told her beef and milk comes from cows, just hadn't thought about pointing out the obvious one.

You guys don't look at live animals we eat the meat of the same way a fox looks at a chicken?
