The meat to bone ratio per wing is dreadful, and they also leave your hands a greasy sticky mess
with legs and wings, it harder to ignore the body count for me. Like 6 wings means 3 chickens died. Like, obviously, breast are a one-to-one, but its less obvious somehow. Its like steak or hamburger; it could be 1/100th of a cow.
edit: i’m barely even vegetarian these days. I need to rebuild some habits
A couple of months ago, I got one of those rotisserie chickens half off near closing time at a supermarket. This lead to me spending the evening re-enacting Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son in front of my computer. I felt like one of those chimps you see in nature documentaries eating a baby gibbon
I had some fired burned steak yesterday. shits good. primal and bloody. but one of those things that even normal people wouldn’t do if they knew what the whole process looked like start to finish. pretty sure /r/happycows is a psyop by the meat industry

Good rule of thumb:
Tag in the ear usually means commercial cow
No tag is usually a rescue/pet/subsistence cow
I loved fishing as a kid, but currently I couldn’t really handle hooking worms or bashing a fish’s head in with a club and then gutting it.
I feel bad enough when I feed live insects to my pets
