Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

While I still eat meat occasionally, I try to choose vegetarian/vegan stuff when I can. I have only tried one chicken alternative plant based something, and while I could definitely tell the difference, I really don't mind it: it's tasty, even if in a slightly different manner.
What I can totally switch to without skipping a beat is Beyond Meat "beef" patties. At least the ones I had back around 2021.
Back when I was a kid we raised our own chickens, so I'm still waiting for a proper substitute, but I haven't tried everything yet.
Maybe I'm just cooking them wrong. We didn't raise cattle growing up, but we always bought a side of beef from a neighbor, so that's my benchmark. Maybe I'm the same way as you with chickens.
Oh, I could tell the difference with those, too : ). I just still love them. Like, a lot.
