And kind of really lean meat can cause “rabbit starvation”. Humans just can’t process too much protein.

Like you said, though, many humans are deliciously marbled, or have a fat layer you could focus on.

Also, humans tend to fight back more than we want to deal with.

Unironically it still makes perfect sense.

More because it’s beside the point. Sure, dogs are unique in that way. That’s not why they’re taboo to eat specifically in our part of the world.

Then why are horses also controversial to eat?

Let’s be real, this isn’t a thing where someone sat down and decided morally speaking what our diet should be. It’s a cultural standard, and it’s the same as Hindus being mad that in the West we specifically eat beef.

OP didn’t say “your dog” or “a pet dog”, they said “dogs”.

Dogs can live fine on a vegetarian diet, and pigs will happily eat meat or predate. They’re both highly social omnivores. Most likely, they get the same kind of food when farmed, too.

The comparison gets more difficult to prove with cows, and a lot more difficult for chickens. But, a pig is almost the same animal ecologically, and people have pet pigs that live in their house just like a dog.

This is somehow the second time Scottish self-loathing has come up on Lemmy. Here’s the clip from Trainspotting.

I have no idea if that has anything to do with real life, or it’s just a very famous movie, but they do eat a lot of weird fried stuff and have terrible health stats.

Well, there’s quite the headline.

Just as valid as eating a pig.

(However valid you think that is)

“We eat large mammalian quadrupeds, so we’re civilised. They eat large mammalian quadrupeds, so they’re barbaric”

Being mad they eat bugs is basically chauvanism too, but at least it’s taxonomically coherent.

Honestly dog meat is on it’s way out just from Western influence anyway.

What, did you think that was the one bit of Americana that didn’t cross an ocean?

Traditional spiceless dishes, like Christmas pudding?

I think you have it backwards. The UK conquered the world, in part for spices (although that was more a Spain and Portugal thing), and used them. Then, you stopped importing them for a few decades as government policy and switched to “grease as the primary flavour”.

Does a steamed pud from a container count? Those things actually do kind of slap.

Man, imagine being the person at the Pentagon or the FBI in charge of stopping the Israelis from messing with American affairs. Talk about a Sisyphean task.

Also, Thomas+Allison.

It was one-sided and played for laughs, but it’s pretty much always there, so you might count it.

TIL. Did any of them deviate much from the original set-up, or is there a too-nice scoutmaster with an arrow through the neck in all of them?

Seems like that depends on a group of screenwriters with a masochistic enjoyment of denial. You have to think it would be a very tempting subplot to start.

As a result, most of the ideas people here have involve like three main characters. I’m not sure about 30 Rock.

You had to see that coming OP.

They even recycled a lot of the same basic characters and plot points. It’s has a pretty different feel though, so I’m not sure whether to be mad.
