If you think about it

It’s more societally acceptable to eat a mcchicken than it is to eat a dead crow that you found in a field- why is this?

One can eat crow if one desires. Crow hunters suggest smothered crow: a recipe with garlic fried in bacon fat, adding crow meat that has been rolled in seasoned flour, then adding dry cider to the skillet, covering the mixture with a lid and cooking until tender

Is this a thread about how goths are still seen as outcasts?

Not yet, but it could well morph into that.

My point is more “if I find an already dead animal and I decide to take a bite out of it, I’m a weirdo. But if I order one that’s been killed specifically for my consumption then that’s fine.”

I had an argument with someone about this in a field yesterday and it’s been playing on my mind

What was their anti ‘field kill’ argument?

Some of our friends wouldn’t consider there to be a difference

And yet it’s the other way round for foxes. Typical.

It was not, it was a human man. We walked past said dead crow and I said “if I took a bite out of that right now, would you still like me?” And he said “no.”

Oh the crow had died from (I presume) natural causes

totally misread the OP as “dead cow”. I pictured you crouched in a field munching on bovine carcass raw, which tbf is a lot weirder than visiting mcdonalds!

Is it though? Is it really?

Messier definitely, there aren’t any serviettes handy in a field

So let me get this straight: you saw a dead crow in a field and your first thought was, “I could eat that”?

If you had found a discarded, possibly days-old chicken nugget in a field would you have eaten it?

Depends. Is it in a box? And is it McDonald’s? Because that stuff doesn’t rot, I’d probably be fine eating it.

So… Depending on how hungry I was, I’d think about it.

It’s not in a box, it’s on the ground, and as with the crow, it’s probably covered in flies when you get close
