the chicken had it coming

[arisrabkin]

Sophie and I had a roast chicken for dinner the other day. And today I was having the leftovers for lunch. And in practice this meant I had a whole chicken carcass not he plate and was cutting off or pulling off bits and eating them. It felt strange

YES.

I love to eat with my hands, especially meat. I was a vegetarian for a year or so recently, and I didn't miss meat in that time. But when I came back home and started eating it again, I definitely reconnected with the primal aspect of it. I don't really even LIKE chicken, but I will pick a chicken carcass like it's my job for exactly the experience you are describing.

Yup, I have had that feeling multiple times. Same with a fish carcass. There's something very enjoyable about getting flesh off a carcass

I had just assumed it was to make meat-eating enjoyable, because we are part-time carnivores and meat is delicious.

Ok, but that's redundant with the fact that it tastes good. We already have a mechanism to make us eat food that is good for us, and that is taste.

It also doesn't explain the aggressive children.

Foie gras is so much tastier after having spent time around geese.
