It doesn't taste the same without the suffering!

This is a joke I've heard before - at least, I hope it's a joke, but what if it's true? What if adrenaline tastes fantastic? Does it? We should know.

I'm increasingly starting to believe that the real difference between sentient, self-aware creatures like humans and other animals is that we have the ability to decide something is bad and then not do it, even though our biological drive is to do so.

Stress in animals leads to worse tasting meat, to the point that it heavily affects the meat industry. There's probably better sources but this was what I found quickly: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/why-scared-animals-taste-worse
