Disturbing video of freshly cut meat ‘moving’ is making people turn to veganism

The 'unsettling' video has put multiple people off eating meat

A video of freshly cut meat 'jumping' has gone viral, after people claim they are now vegan - but there's an interesting explanation behind the 'unsettling' phenomenon.

Despite perhaps never questioning your carnivore diet, this may be enough to put you off for life.

Of course, everyone is aware of where their meat comes from, but when you're faced with a clip that particularly highlights the stark reality, it can put things into perspective.

A video - posted by Weird and Terrifying on X - has gone viral after initially being shared in 2020, of meat that appears to be 'moving' after being freshly cut.

A butcher, who had access to the freshest meat, demonstrated what can happen when it has been slathered in salt.

And while sprinkling your steak with a bit of salt before cooking it is a pretty common practice, you never quite expect this to happen.

To the viewer's surprise, when reacting to the salt, the meat bubbled at the surface - making for an extremely tough watch.

People in the comments were quick to share their disgust, as they watched the meat pulsate as though it was still alive.

One said: "I could have done without this knowledge..."

Another wrote: "'Well, this could make me give up eating meat."

A third added: "Planning a vegetarian diet from now on - that's horrible!"

Another user said their skin was 'crawling' after viewing the 'unsettling' clip.

"I'm going vegan," one claimed.

But there's actually an interesting reason as to why the meat moved when it came into contact with salt.

Experts have previously noted that this can only be done with the freshest cuts of meat, and that the pulsations we can see are caused by the animal's nerve endings, which are 'still alive'.

Not a particularly nice thought...

When a similar clip was shared in 2015, Lv Suwen, an expert at the local animal health department said: "You can rest assured, this piece of meat is very fresh and is from a freshly slaughtered animal.

"The central nervous system is dead but the nerve-endings in the muscles are still firing resulting in the jumping, because the nerves are not yet dead.

"This will stop after a short time."

Numerous vegetarians commented how 'glad' they were about the decision they have made.

One said: "Glad I gave up meat 21 years ago."

Another said: "I’m glad I'm vegan."
