Oddbean new post about login | logout You are a developer, you know that identifying the problem is the best way to solving it. Saying "meat is icky" is stupid. Factory farming is horrifying, but going with "gross" is a sure way to have people make fun of your face instead of acepting the reality of paying for higher prices and keeping a eye on producers to have more humane sources of meat and animal produce.
I never thought the fact it's gross is a logical argument. But the fact there are pus regulations because it's a serious problem specifically because of treatment by factory farms should be alarming.
That's the problem, it is not, it is the reality of dealing with animals. The only way to completely remove this type of problem is to process the produce to a point where it loses its original identity. "Whey protein" does not have this problem, but it not milk. Swiss cheese lost it's holes after it was overly clean, and they had to artificially add contaminants to regain the characteristics. My mother was raised in a farm, she had to clean pigs guts to make sausage, she clean it in well water, the idea that you would no be eating small particles of cooked shit was laughable.
