Part of being an adult is knowing that chicken wings are delicious but you shouldn’t eat them every day.

reminds me of the saying - the difference between wisdom and knowledge is, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

All fruits are vegetables.

You participate in capitalism you don’t get to complain about “choose to inflict suffering”.

Not OP but: The frustration you feel from being condescended to by a vegan is not comparable to the suffering produced by the meat industry. So much so, that any frustrations you feel are beneath my consideration; I don't give a fuck if you are annoyed by my proselytization. why are you satisfying your craving to be a dick This is a strawman.

Cool. Ima go order a bit more meat for lunch today. Cheers.

Every time the family orders out trays of wings, I can't help myself from commenting "what a lovely tray of death!", pointing out that it cost one chicken for every four "wings" (two drummets and two flats) . It doesn't hurt to remind ourselves where food comes from and to be appreciative and grateful for their sustenance. There's always leftovers too, which I hate going to waste. Very easy to ...

Meat processing plants aren't wasting the chickens.

For every 4 "wings" there are two breast and two thighs going into their own separate packs, the rest of the carcass gets boiled, the cooked meat on the carcass goes to shredded cooked chicken, the broth from the cooking process goes to be sold or dried into Bouillon cubes. The bones likely go to a secondary market.

I don’t really like chicken wings. Too much messy work for too little reward.

Hold onto the side of the flat with the knuckle cartilage and twist the small bone and pull it out, now you can mouth the whole flat and pull the meat from a single bone or if you twist and pull the bigger bone out you can eat the thing whole except the cartilage.

It is still a lot of work vs reward but the crispness of the skin and sauce holding ability make them worthwhile.

Why the fuck not? I'm not switching to breast. Breast meat sucks.

It's actually pretty good if you give it some maillard and seasoning. Don't just boil it and expect Popeyes.

It still ain't better than the wings and thighs when they're made the same way.

I can absolutely destroy a plate of wings in like just a couple minutes using this technique and my reckless abandon for devouring cartilage. This is just basically a skill issue

I never said anything about wasting other parts of chickens. I was referring to leftover wings going uneaten and going to waste. Incorporating the chicken meat from the wings into other dishes I'm quite good at.

I wasn't implying that you thought your opinion was unique or original.

My implication is that your quip is trite and I hear it often from carnists who are attempting to get in one final jab before retreating from the argument.

You are very bad at arguing, and even worse at rage baiting lol. I wonder if all that meat has gone to your head.

There's no 'rage baiting' involved, I'm not trying to make you mad. I'm just applying some incentives / disincentives to the vegans who like to proselytize.

My lunch would normally be more carb based, but, like I said...
