Well while i was at school. Me and my friends were having lunch and my friend bought a chicken wrap and i was like whats in that and she was like meat. And i was like but its not meat. So what was she on about? So we asked our other friends 3 people said chicken was meat and 3 of us said it was chicken not meat So??? And wouldn't you classify meat like as in lamb.?

Humans -- the other white meat. What is the first?

A survey by Time magazine a couple years ago found of those people who identified themselves as vegetarians, 70% had eaten meat within the last week.

 No I'm being serious what i mean is like its not red meat or anything
No one flipping understands what I'm talking about
I'm trying to say that you wouldn't really call it meat even though it is. You would refer it to chicken or something like that. Now I'm confused to explain it.

You have got to be kidding me right?

I second what Hodver said! Our schools are definitely failing our kids.

Duh it's meat. It's muscle from an animal, isn't it? And it's the best darn meat out there, if you ask me.

It is a meat because it is from an animal

"Meat" most commonly matches Homestar's definition -- anything in the animal kingdom. There are exceptions though because some say fish or shellfish are not meat (which I disagree with, it's simply meat living in the water), and some say eggs are not (which again I disagree with, it's protein which would grow to be walking meat if we hadn't interfered), and some say nuts or mincemeat ARE meat (which I disagree with, a nuts a nut to me).

Clearly chicken to me is meat because a) it's a walking member of the animal kingdom, b) color of meat is irrelevant to the meat classification, after all we have "white meat" and "darkmeat" chicken parts, we have pork sometimes called the "other white meat", etc, c) vegans refuse to eat chicken and that's a pretty good strict operational criteria of whether something is meat -- will a vegan object to it?, d) if chicken is not meat then what is it? And don't just say "chicken" because we can turn that around on red meat too and say hey "beef" isn't meat instead it's simply "beef".

PS, by the way how funny is it that For and Against wouldn't let me spell out darkmeat with a space imbetween because it might be offensive?

 Or you could have said, "It's in the animal kingdom, so it's meat."

We are meat. Beef is meat, anything that's in the animal kingdom is meat.
