I have reduced my meat consumption to virtually zero. Is there any proof that a stressed animal gives worse quality meat? Even after cooking it? Could anyone double-blinded tell the difference?
- amalgamated_inc 4y agoI'd be surprised if anybody could tell. Natural variation in other factors that impact flavor far more are almost certainly going to be much stronger, e.g. how fatty is the cut of mean, how's the fat distributed, natural variations on muscle fiber, how long was it aged/dried, which piece got more heat from the heat source during cooking..

- sofixa 4y agoYep, it results in worse quality meat: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/why-scared-animals-taste-worse https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/why-scared-animals-tas... I thought this was well known - it's the main reason why killing methods are 'stealthy' (the animals don't see them coming) in slaughterhouses.
- Ancapistani 4y agoStressed animals can panic and injure themselves trying to escape, which absolutely means quality issues. > Even after cooking it? Could anyone double-blinded tell the difference? It doesn't matter to the company, because it's apparent when you look at the packaged meat.
