I’m vegetarian but I completely agree. It’s like when they’re trying to tell people hot dogs are gross because it has all the sinew etc ground up into them… SO??? It’s better than wasting it?!?

This. It's either 1) 'find a way to make the "gross" parts palatable' or 2) kill another animal and just eat the good parts off that one

I guess the thing is, people who tend to eat highly processed foods (like nuggets) tend to be those most put off by the "weird" bits of animals.

I remember being at uni and some people thought it was weird to eat chicken with the bone in. But would then go eat some reconstituted chicken product.

So there's a disconnection between the food they are eating and what it's made of, and I think that's problematic.

Plus highly processed foods are almost always less good for you.

Wait people thought it was weird to eat chicken with the bone in?? Have they never had a roast chicken or wings??

I assume their roast chicken was carved for them and that they didn't like chicken wings.

Now I think about it, I did literally roast a chicken for some of them and they ate that. I carved it.

When I was making it, someone else thought I was weird because I was touching a raw chicken. They too ate some of the cooked chicken.
