Most people will have to eventually.

I don't want to live in a world where we have to give up beef.

Not sure we have a choice if we want any real future.

I just filled out the cut sheet for a quarter cow so I should be good for awhile.

I do worry that availability of cheap beef and pork is the only thing stopping Trad from getting a job with the Pinkertons where he's basically on the road 24/7

Time to bring back the old Wendy's "Where's the beef?!" commercial from the 80's. My no-pic daughter is a vegetarian (but does eat seafood) and my no-pic wife was a vegetarian for 8 years or so, but now eats meat very occasionally (insert joke here) after becoming anemic. Anyway, I don't know how they do it.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Gave it up years ago.

Most inefficient use of land and resources there is.

 

[Nole Lou]

Oh, its definitely coming.

I expect to see it reflected in media first, and soon. Remember decades ago when some characters smoked? Now, you don't see characters smoking unless it specifically is meant to convey something very particular about them, somewhere between anti-authoritarian to downright evil.

I think you will start to see the same thing happening with meat...you will see a lot of pressure on media not to depict hero or secondary characters eating meat. Only the villains will eat a steak. They will try to purge it from the culture as an unacceptable depiction.

OP's mom will never give up my beef

Lolwut.

 

[bagdropper]

If I'm lucky, I eat beef once a month (usually a steak, sometimes a burger). So, no biggie for me.

 

[goldmom]

And fish once a week. But I NEVER want to give up a juicy grilled steak. At least once a month.

Then I’ll be the evil villain granny.
You kids get off my lawn and away from my grill. 😡

There’s a one liner in here...

 

[hawkeye54545]

Here's an idea. If you want to eat bugs and plant based crap "meat" do it. But keep your damn hands off my cheeseburgers.

You’re more of a inefficient use of land and resources.

Steak, eggs and potatoes will make you a man. I don’t need to worry about low testosterone.

 

[torbee]

In a choice between global instability and eating less hamburgers, I think the latter choice is quite obvious for most non mouth-breathers.

 

[BelemNole]

meh, I could give up beef pretty easily.

 

[BelemNole]

I don't want to live in a world where we have to give up beef.

Works for me!

No.

When's the last time you saw a Hollywood starlet wearing fur?

It’s thread titles like these they get me all teary… Damn, do I miss @naturalmwa

I'm trying to think of scenes where they're actually eating. I've got:

Just to be clear - you two think less people smoking and trapping and killing wild animals to wear are BAD things?

OK and the pyramids were built by slaves and the British empire built on the backs of colonizing millions of Indians, Africans and Asians.

Aren't we supposed to continue to evolve as a species and society?

Let the market do its job I say. Unless companies are freely choosing to be woke, that is a globalist plot.

A quick googling puts the per capita beef consumption of Americans at almost 60# per year. If consuming it truly is a problem, Americans could knock that back quite a bit imo.

Great comeback genius. The best part of you ran out of your mom and on to the floor.

I propose a "one calf, per-year, per-American" policy.

Thats deceiving. There are people like me who eat none, so for the people that eat beef, its higher than that.

 

[hydro2.0]

I eat more chicken and pork but got damn do I love beef

You do because you are fat.
