People don’t eat Fluffy meat. Despite their high reproductive potential, short fattening period, and ease of raising, Fluffys are the perfect livestock.
The answer is simple:
Their meat tastes terrible. Those who have tried it say the flesh has a strong bitterness and a texture reminiscent of cheap steak. This is understandable, as they weren’t bred for meat. Nevertheless, due to their excellent reproductive potential, they are being studied for consumption around the world, and in 2021, a genetically engineered Fluffy with a taste and texture similar to bread was even developed.
Perhaps in the future, fluffy will be used as food.
It’s not a big deal, you just need to figure out where things go. And you can’t be expected to figure that out on your own if you don’t speak English natively. I just don’t know why you formatted it in a box like that. Makes it impossible to read.
I’ve always felt that it’s a necessary part of canon that Fluffies largely can’t be a net-positive. This means:
Their meat isn’t edible or nutritious, or tastes terrible. They don’t produce much meat for wildlife, and are vectors for parasites
Their Fluff isn’t usable like wool, or doesn’t insulate, or otherwise doesn’t produce good textiles
Their dung is a terrible fertilizer
They tire easily or aren’t strong animals, so they can’t be used as pack animals or put on hamster wheels
Alicorns are absurdly hard to breed, hard to breed with good colors, and all the Fluffies around them hate them and will kill them on sight, making keeping them alive very difficult
You get the idea.
I think this is necessary to prevent the laziness of “oh no, anything I touch turns to gold, even food! I sell all the stuff I touch to make millions and figure out a way around it, so this curse is effectively toothless.”
It means that people that keep them around, keep them around because they genuinely care about them, rather than “I hate them, but damn am I making good money off of them.” Breeding is potentially lucrative, but very labor-intensive, and no sane person would do it. It also heightens the net-negative they are on functioning society when allowed to breed and consume unchecked.
Contariwise, if you assume that fluffy meat is actually tasty, and that some people prefer the flavor profile of fluffy meat from a fluffy that has suffered excruciating and acute torture before dying, then it sets us up for a world where the slaughter and eating and sometimes catastrophic and horrific abuse of fluffies is not only tolerated, but considered proper and enjoyable, and committed on an industrial scale.
I think that sets us up for some VERY interesting and dark territory for both fluffies and humankind.
Hey there, I changed the formatting on your post so people could better read it
My personal hc on fluffy meat is that it tastes alright, it’s just not worth the effort it takes to get a reasonable portion on a plate for the vast majority of people since fluffies are naturally more inclined to gain fat than any real amount of muscle.
A lot of people are just ‘icked out’ by the thought of eating them, too. Fluffies are either considered too cute, too unnatural, or too gross (for the people that consider them vermin)
I think people do eat fluffy meat, specifically in more third world eras. Fluffies can commonly produce a lot of foals, and those foals grow up quite quickly, so why not take advantage of that and use them for large scale slaughter for profits and combating hunger?
Personally, I couldn’t imagine the meat taking amazing, but not terrible either, just okay, probably lesser than chicken imo. So a lot of people would probably use herbs to give it some type of flavor than the bland taste it naturally has
