what do you think of these jobs?

Factory farming is disgusting and I would never want to work in a place that is cruel and so visually disgusting but just butchering cattle wouldn't disgust me too much, my dad use to hang and clean deer he killed hunting in our basement when I was a kid from the hook that held up the punching bag. That's where food comes from, it's certainly not pretty but I've always known this.

I really doubt Syrians would do this job given their religious convictions, Muslims believe that animals have to slaughter in a specific ritualistic way or else it is not halal. People would be willing to do this job if they paid enough, I imagine the pay is like 12 bucks or something measly.

I chose the ice cream option.

I live in beef country - so there are slaughter houses around here - when there is little to no work around - slaughter house work is still work - I haven't worked there but I've done some more disgusting work than that - had my hands in human sh..t - empting charity clothing bins - that was pretty gross - been down sewers - done cold call telemarketing - processing English into French, well there are worse jobs out there (abstract!! cow = old English / beef = old French! same for pig/pork, deer/venison, sheep/mutton) - but ones who have worked there, they say you never get rid of the smell of death.

Actually, someone did try it, over 40 years ago. They actually used textured vegetable protein to make pepperoni. Unfortunately, the taste was worse than Spam. (Insert your favorite Monty Python bit here )

Not in a slaughterhouse. In a natural farm setting, maybe...maybe I'm deluding myself.

They can and do.
All you have to do is buy it...

There is a lot of fake meat products out there(see: Taco Bell) but most of it is disgusting. I'd rather eat only vegetables than fake meat product

it is not economical in the least, costing multiples of what real meat costs. for those of us who must count our pennies it is not practical.

if it was affordable [totally unlike any fake meat on the market today] I'd probably like it. I like spam

I love meat and I'm not against killing it myself. Provided it's stunned and killed in the proper way. I'd be open to butchering it myself too. Doesn't really bother me. Not fish though, fish are kind of gross.

I could never work in a slaughterhouse.

I grew up in a small town in the country. I used to avoid visiting my friends that lived on farms on "chicken-killing day"

both my parents lived out in the country, and had direct experience chopping the heads off of chickens which would then run around for a bit, spurting blood all over until they keeled over, literally "running around like a chicken with its head cut off."

You know, some 50.000 years ago our ancestors would kill and eat the children of rivalizing groups because 1. they were easy targets, 2. it hurt the fertility of the rival group and 3. food is food.

Based on the poll results we humans have gone soft... or we really like ice cream. Hard to say.

Definitely no since watching Earthlings.
