- 13of40 10y agoDo you have personal experience with this? I've always assumed that we exclusively eat one or two year old animals because of the needs of industrialized agriculture, like tomatoes that ripen in the warehouse...
- wyager 10y agoYes. Old animals are usually gamier and have worse flavor. An animal that died of old age probably tastes horrible. I mean, think about it; they're not dying because their flesh is in great condition.

- asciimo 10y agoYou're probably joking, but cattle would live 20-25 years "naturally," as opposed to 12-18 months if slaughtered. That's a lot more grain and methane.
- codezero 10y agoIf we control their every move, is there even such a thing as a natural cause?
