If I had to summarize what I thought of this article in one sentence I'd grab this quote:
""Raw material (chicken frames) are cooked in water to specific solids content,” the representative wrote.”
The the product, the rep and the company are so disconnected from reality that they can't even call a chicken bone a "chicken bone". They call it a "chicken frame", like some strange chicken nugget defecating robot.
- nerdponx 4y agoThe cruelty and horror of industrialized farming wouldn't be possible without this level of detachment.
- andreareina 4y agoBecause it isn't just bone, there's a lot of skin and other connective tissue that goes along for the ride. I've parted out whole chickens so I wouldn't call me disconnected from the reality of it and calling it the frame makes perfect sense to me. "Carcass" is another word that's in common use.
- adingus 4y agoI guess this is just a case of me being annoyed because of my own ignorance. I wasn't aware that 'frame' was a common term, like carcass.
- glitchc 4y agoFrame sounds like carcass, mainly the ribcage devoid of major sections of meat (breast, legs, etc.).
- farco12 4y agoThis is going to be the case with any sufficiently scaled business. I feel the same way about how marketing and sales people talk about human beings as an opportunity to qualify for their sales funnel. I'm sure others might feel similarly disgusted how software developers and business people talk about users. I personally find it gross that high spenders are commonly referred to as whales.
- dtgriscom 4y ago> high spenders are commonly referred to as whales Is this term common outside of the gambling industry? (I personally have no problem with the term's use in that context...)
